White to Play and Mate in Two
By Pete TamburroAlong with Loyd and Shinkman, I would love to have met T.R. Dawson. These three problem composers created some really out there puzzles. It would be fascinating just to get inside their creative mind for a bit. When you look at today's mate in two, you cannot help but ask yourself how this creation came into his mind. Once you see the solution, it would be instructive and increase your appreciation to go over why each chess piece is on the board. Can you figure out why the two h-pawns are there? One more thing: it is a LEGAL chess position! Very important!
