Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This position is a splendid example of the games problemists play. Composed by Jacques Fulpius in 1974, it is White to play and mate in two.
The theme should not be too difficult to spot. Almost all Black's pieces are tied down to preventing some mate or other. All White needs is a move that completes the bind. The key is 1.Qe6! with no threat, but Black cannot move anything without allowing mate: 1...bxa6, b5, c4, c2, gxh5, g4 or h3 are mated by 2.Qxc6 Nxc5, Rd4, Nd2, Qf5, Rf4 and Nxg3 respectively, while moving the b2-knight, c6-bishop, f6-bishop, or g7-rook allow 2.Qc4, Qd5, Qxe5, or Bxg6. Finally 1...Rf3 2.Bxf3, 1...Rg1 or Rg2 2.Bf3, 1...Rh3 or Rg4 2.Qg4 complete the answer.
With 14 different mates, and no alternatives in any line, this is a record for "unguards".
