White to Play and Prevent Black from Mating in One
Just as a break from brilliant attacks, we thought we'd take a holiday on this holiday weekend to give you a composition based on one by T.R. Dawson. There is one move, and only one move, by White on the board that stops Black from mating next move. Black threatens a variety of mates in one with the queen, bishop and rooks, so look carefully. When you are convinced there is no such move, just remember that we've told you there is! (Sweeping the pieces off the board is not the answer we had in mind!)
