Re: Difference between solving problems and playing a real game « Reply 1 on: Oct 16, , PM ». But what can Black do after 1. Bg2 the black bishop blocked a potential escape square and White mates with 2. However, 2.
Bh3 mates with 2. But not 2. Again, 2. Ng4 is ruled out because it creates an escape square on h3. Nf2 White has no mate because 2. Nf3 creates an escape square on g2. In example D, Bxd2 by Black would create two escape squares for the black king: c1 and e1. And Qxb3 would create an escape square for the black king on c2. The key question in such cases is: "Assuming the white pieces have teleportation power, where do they mate after And the white queen has only one square from which it can reach c1 and mate: a1.
Bxd2 White has 2. And after Qxb3 White mates with 2. End of story? Not yet. All other moves by Black Qa2, Qxc2 or Ba3 also lead to mate. In our last example, Black has no strong move. Moreover, no matter what Black plays, White has a mate. When the rook on d8 moves along the eighth rank Paul describes six types of questions. Regardless of the problem, these questions can help me come up with better solutions. An analogy suggests something similar between two different things. For example, a toe is to a foot, as a finger is to a hand.

He dissected humans to understand how layers of muscle, tissue, and tendons work inside our body. This knowledge allowed him to paint details that no other painter considered at the time. In life, and across this world, the problems we all face are only going to get worse.
We are all going to need creative solutions to tough problems. I for one look forward to the solutions you will find. This post is part of a series of letters to my kids.
