Funny again Re: Forced Mate #35 ChestUCI.epd pos:6253
Most engines have even difficulty finding the drawing line for white,
even more difficult to find the win.
A Funny Position where black is winning according to engine evals.
Forced Mate in #35 but almost all engines prefer the position of black.
Many zugzwang position (via king triangulation at d6 or g1). Triangulate at d6 square if d5 is occupied by a pawn or g1 square if e3 is occupied.
Other dark squares are not possible for triangulation because the Bb2
would deliver deadly checks and the Qa1 would be activated too, and
would allow black to win the game.

According to engines, there are many other possible winning lines by
activating white K via g2 and then attacking blacks position.
But haven't verified if that idea would mate longer or shorter.
Possible correct solution below follows:
This solution is quite artistic because the position of black crumbles by
just maneuvering whites king to a1 and back to h1. The idea is to lose tempo so
white has the possibility to checkmate via Rb8-Rb1-Rg1-Rg7-Rh7# checkmate.
With this idea of white, the pawns of black are forcibly pushed until no
more pawns can be pushed.

powerful hardware.
But I am not sure if you just found out and uncovered a cook for this mate puzzle or whether SF-MF missed the #M34 because it played 4.f4 which
untangles the pieces of black and gives black a bit of resistance against
#M34.

Because if 4.f4 on above variation is not played, the Bb6 > 4...Bxe3 >
6...Bd4 is not possible and cannot harass the Nf6 which is already
positioned for the planned checkmate.
But anyway, below is #M40 from yacpdb site but solution was not provided there.

White to Play, Mate in #34
According to engines, there are many other possible winning lines by
activating white K via g2 and then attacking blacks position.
But haven't verified if that idea would mate longer or shorter.
Possible correct solution below follows:
This solution is quite artistic because the position of black crumbles by
just maneuvering whites king to a1 and back to h1. The idea is to lose tempo so
white has the possibility to checkmate via Rb8-Rb1-Rg1-Rg7-Rh7# checkmate.Code: Select all

powerful hardware.
But I am not sure if you just found out and uncovered a cook for this mate puzzle or whether SF-MF missed the #M34 because it played 4.f4 which
untangles the pieces of black and gives black a bit of resistance against
#M34.

Because if 4.f4 on above variation is not played, the Bb6 > 4...Bxe3 >
6...Bd4 is not possible and cannot harass the Nf6 which is already
positioned for the planned checkmate.
But anyway, below is #M40 from yacpdb site but solution was not provided there.

Oops sorry
, should have used the [Preview] button properly before posting. I missed the closing double quotes of the PGN tag [Site "Talkchess"] and strange things happened, displaying chess pieces instead of the complete game.

Editing of previous post not allowed after 15 minutes.
But I guess it would be better if there's [pgn] cleaner before posting to
avoid that bug on previous post. : )

Re: Forced Mate #28 /ChestUCI.epd position 6185
I could be wrong, but I think that was implemented during the rise of RybkaNordlandia wrote:Post can't be edited after 15 minutes time.
Why exactly 15min?
and then the rise of Houdini, where heated debate, allegations and counter-allegations almost set the whole forum on fire.
Allowing to modify a post after more than 15 minutes would allow some posters to delete their deeply held secrets which were posted at the heat of discussions. ; )
But never mind, here's a Mate in #28.

This is a strange triangulation version of a rook and losing or gaining of tempo by
restricting the possible moves of the only active piece of black, the dark- squared-bishop
