Seduction, strategy helps find mate

6 days ago | muskogeephoenix.com | Eric Morrow

The chessboard is a theater of romance and seduction. When a knight flashes both its right angles, linear-minded rooks are lured into a natural checkmating position. This could even break a queen's heart. With this hint in mind please try to find white's mating attack. Because black's bishop targets the white king's escape square on h2, both black's queen and rook on d8 threaten mate in two. Black also has material superiority.

Victory not always so clear

The Battle of the Champions in 550 B.C. was fought between the Greek city-states Argos and Sparta. The two city-states agreed that only 300 warriors on each side would fight. It transpired in an open field in plain view for both Argives and Spartans to see. At the end of a long day's fighting, only 2 Argives and 1 Spartan were left standing. Confident in their numerical superiority, the Argives declared themselves victorious and went home.

Proverbs prove vital at woman's world match

The Woman's World Chess Championship match concluded mid-April. Reigning champion Wenjun Ju faced fellow countrywoman Zhongyi Tan of China. Ju dominated the match and won before playing the final scheduled games. This week's position is from the seventh game of their match. Ju is white; Tan, black. Here, both white's rooks threaten black's bishop, and black's king and rook both threaten white's knight. White's next move proves that black's threat is hollow and unable to exchange blows.

Tricks, trap create something pretty

Antlions are ugly insect larvae that hunt ants. Eventually, they blossom into dragonfly-like insects and fly away from their burrows, where they trap ants before metamorphosing like butterflies. Antlions dig pits that passing ants fall into and are trapped in the burrow. They are also called doodlebugs. Because of black's outside passed pawns on g3 and h3, the position seems ugly for white.

Everything old becomes new again

Five-thousand four-hundred ninety-eight years ago, just as the night sky lightened with the first tinge of navy before morning, Pharaoh Thutmose III directed Egypt's forces to attack the Canaanite rebels near Megiddo, which is located in modern-day Syria. This was the first recorded battle in history, as documented in the hieroglyphics of the Hall of Annals in Luxor. The Egyptians routed the Canaanites in a crossfire of arrows and phalanxes.
