Can you solve the following chess problem that stumped Fritz 10?



Strangely, my elderly copy of Chessmaster 10 solved it no problem! I've always said CM is a better program....:D

Here's the solution.



Another interesting puzzle:



This is called the Entombed King puzzle by Alain Campbell White. He came up with the idea after spending some time in Egypt and being amazed by the Pyramids.

White is to mate in three moves.




Solution (highlight with your mouse to read):
***1.Kh4 f2 2.Qxb3 cxb3 3.Nc5#***
