Again - I failed. True: it is simple if you know about it.
What do you actually write down for this one? How do you try to describe it?
I would try with: "Is there a mate threat?" More general one could say C-C-T (Check-Capture-Threat). But that would be to minimalistic.
Good news probably is, that we can train "Is there a mate threat?" with the CT-tag "mate threat". I used the opportunity to tag this puzzle with "mate threat". In general I would say, that threats are more difficult to see than captures or checks. The puzzle would become ridiculous easy if there was a white piece standing on d8.
Greetings from the Caribbean. Over here it has 35°C in the shadow! (But of course you dont have to go into the shadow.)

Wow, 35 degrees!
ReplyDeleteThe first question on my list is:
What is this position about?
There are 5 possible answers, of which mate is the first.
