Play online chess		 Subject: Possible mistake in chess puzle on Nov 28

Message:
Colleagues, I solved chess puzzle on Nov 28 (from chess puzzle competition) and gave it to my friend. While analyzing the solution, we noticed that after 1.

Now white player would have to use another move to allow black move and, therefore, wouldn't be able to checkmate in 4 (unless I'm missing anything).

Please, correct me if I'm wrong in any respect. I didn't find the way to communicate it to GameKnot guys.

Best,
- Igor

He died at the age of 19 and his tomb, undisturbed for 3,245 years, was well-preserved when it was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter. King Tut's golden burial mask became the symbol of ancient Egypt. But how did he make it into chess? Protecting a king is vital in every chess game and pawns are best suited to do the job. When the pawns surround the king in chess problems and studies, we see some beautiful and astonishing creations. Entombing the king became a popular theme among chess composers ...
