1.000 year old chess problem

Post by tellymetwise » Sat Nov 15, 2003 12:25 am

The chessboard viewer couldn't be loaded, so the FEN notation below.

8/6K1/5r1r/4n3/8/2N5/R2R4/2k5 b - - 0 1
black to move and mate.

An interresting site where this problem comes from including some background information on the old variant of chess can be found at Mansubat.
Here you can also find the famous waterwheel problem.
