Chapter 882:

Puzzle time with Kisha Shinbun [Special]

En Passant Grandmaster


"Welcome to the show! Kisha Shinbun here, and today, we've got a chess puzzle for our friends on the chess channel. This game comes to us from me and guest... Dandy Dan!" Kisha exclaimed.

Dandy Dan slowly tap danced out onto the stage.

"Alright, so, me n' Dandy Dan, here's the puzzle, don't judge, we were doing this for educational purposes. I move my pawn to e3, he moves his pawn to e6. I go pawn f4, he goes pawn f5. Next we mirror again with pawn to g4 and pawn to g5, respectively. Then it's trading time, with me capturing the pawn at g5 with my f-pawn, and him capturing the pawn at g4 with his f-pawn. We continue with me capturing the pawn at g4 with my queen, and him capturing the pawn at g5 with his queen. That means I get to gobble up his queen at g5 with my queen. Dandy Dan then moves his knight to h6, while I move my bishop to e2. That leaves us with Knight to f5, and me to move. So, where should I move? You have a minute to guess, so send in those answers. 10 lucky winners will receive 10,000 WWCF points via a random drawing, but only if you submit your answer in time. Countdown starts... NOW!"

A giant countdown clock appeared and slowly ticked down from 60. When it reached zero, Kisha took hold of the mic again.

"Ready for the answer? The winning move is bishop h5, checkmate," Kisha smiled. "If you got that right, you're in the lottery for those 10,000 points. We'll reveal who wins later. See you again after we come back from commercials."
