Marshall's Chess "Swindles" , p. 129, 1914
P1182118
(6+3) C+
#2 mit dem Sg6
1. f7 Kxg6 2. f8=S#
play all play one stop play next play all
Der gerade geschlagene wSg6 kommt durch die UW wieder aufs Brett und setzt matt; deshalb auch der wSb1.
Originalforderung: White mates in two - with the Knight at KKt6.
Motto: "A La Napier"
A.Buchanan: It's easy to make a miniature ideal mate version of this cheeky problem, e.g. 8/6pk/3N1PN1/6P1/7K/8/8/8 but the charm of Marshall's original is the apparently pointless wSb1 (2020-10-21)
