Puzzle of the month
by C.G.S.Narayanan
The puzzle this month is a serieshelpmate.
The stipulation can be explained in simple
terms in the following manner. In a series-mover, the normal practice of white
and black taking turns moving is dispensed
with. Instead, one side makes several
moves in a row with no interruption by the
other side. In the serieshelpmate problem
below black plays four consecutive helpful
moves followed by one white move which
delivers the mate. An added condition is
that the side making the series of moves
is not allowed to give check until the final
move of the series.The problem has two
parts. Solve the diagram position and then
replace WBf5 with WRf5 and solve again.
