Chess Problem with Chancellor 3
White:King f7; Chancellor a4; Knight b7; Bishop b5, h8; Pawn d6, c2, g3.
Black:
King d5; Knight a6, c8; Bishop d2; Pawn c5, e3, f5, g5.
White to mate in two moves.
The chancellor is a piece that has the combined moves of rook and knight (in the same manner as the queen has the combined moves of bishop and rook).
Solution
1. Chancellor a4 - e4. After every move of black, white can mate. (Check it out: already finding all these responses are nice little puzzles!)Written Hans Bodlaender, with thanks to Ralph Betza.
