Search and solving strategiesOn most of the exercise sheets in the second part you are not told what the combination is all about. Start bythinking things over rather than simply trying out every move. Look for the characteristics of the position.The search strategy Which strategy can exploit it?vulnerable king (check)in(sufficiently) protected piecespieces liable to a knight forka batterypiece with a defensive taskopposing pieces on the same linepinned piecepiece with restricted mobility mate or double attackdouble attackdouble attack with a knightdiscovered attack (discovered check or double check)getting rid of a defenderpin or X-ray attackattack it once more / exploit a bad defendercaptureMake a preparatory move (attract, eliminate a defender, chase, target, clear). If the position appears hopeless, thenyou must try to force a draw by perpetual check, repetition of moves, stalemate, insufficient mating material, afortress or leaving your opponent with the wrong bishop.q5Q5b3p1n2p11p6kn22n 1pp14rP1P1N 12PP1P11Pb3K46R 4R3BFirst of all you notice thatthere are two unprotectedpieces (Ra4, Bh2).The black king is safe, butWhite can give check. Thesethree pieces can all beattacked from c2. Whitewins with 1. Qb3 followedby 2. Qc2 .4Rp41r4rp1p1p21N1pP1r4q54rP1P1The bishop on e6 is pinned.So the rook on c8 is onlybeing protected by the otherrook. White can attack c8another time with 1. Qc1 .After 1. . Kh7 2. Rxc8Rxc8 3. Qxc8 we see that apinned piece is a baddefender.n24rp11pk6p11pp1P1P15QR4b3b3The bishop on d7 does nothave many moves. It isalready under attack, butafter 1. Rd8 it can still takeon b5. White eliminates thisoption with 1. b6!. The rookcannot capture and after 1. .axb6 2. Rd8 the bishop isquite lost.r4p1k16Pp1N42RK6P11PK6p1P1P14rp11pq15pb 13p6kp41Rp1P1R4N2P11PP11P1PQ5K6The back rank mate lookstempting. The twodefenders, Qc7 and Rb8,must be disposed of. That isdone by diversion. Firstlythe queen hesitates a bit: 1.Ra7 Qb6 but after 2. Rb7Black must resign.q5P1r4Together the queen andknight form a battery.Unfortunately the whitequeen is unprotected, so thefront man must give check.White chases the king to g8:1. Ng6 hxg6 2. Qh3 Kg83. Nh6 winning the p11p 1p2NP11p1P 5Q2NP11P 1PP11P1PR 34BR64Kb3b3r4P1Q5P31bP1K6White is a pawn down and ina wretched position. Whatpossibilities are there for adraw? Perpetual check lookslike the likeliest option.And in fact: 1. Rd3 Qxd3 2.Qe6 Kg7 3. Qe7 Kh6 4.Qh4 with perpetual check.p1K6Q5k61pb13p4r1pp 21NP11P 4RP 51Q1PP15qP1P61KR4Because of the many blackpieces perpetual check doesnot work. Something musthappen to get stalemate: theking, queen and g-pawn canstill move. Luckily Whitehas 1. g4! The threat of mateon f5 forces Black tocapture: 1. . fxg3 2. Qf5 Kxf5 stalemate.Plenty of unprotectedpieces! Such positions aredifficult, because it is stilltoo hard to spot the winningmanoeuvre. White sets up abattery by “attracting andtargeting”: 1. cxd5 Bxd5 2.Qb5! and if the bishopmoves, then 3. Ne7 .71
