White to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

Here we have another battery lined up on a diagonal. Use your experience to figure out to do with a rook.


Solution:

H. Knuppert gives us a composition similar to the last one in that the defensive bishop moves available to “tries” challenge White to find a rook move that can deal with those bishop moves: 1.Rb8 is the key. If you tried 1.Rf5, then 1…Bb5! or 1.Rc8 Bc4! Or 1.Rf4 Bb6
