The Checker Maven
Jump to navigationA Little More Practical, Well, Maybe
Our stroke problems, we like to think, have been challenging, elegant, and charming (if we do say so ourselves), but they have had a certain artificiality in their makeup. So, for a bit of a change, we'd like to present you with one that may be of a somewhat more practical nature. At least, maybe. Or maybe not?
Here's the problem:
BLACK
WHITE
White to Play and Win
WHITE
White to Play and Win
W:W7,K9,10,17,18:B1,3,K16,K26,27.

10-6 3-10---A 18-15 10-19 3. 9-13 1-10 4. 17-14 10-17 13-15 White Wins.
A---1-10 18-15 10-19 9-13 3-10 17-14 10-17 13-14 White wins.
Practical? Realistic? You be the judge, and let us know what you think!
