Steve Giddins’ Weekly Chess Problem…
Steve Giddins has a weekly column over at TheProblemist.org which is well worth a look. Each week sees a new problem posted for readers to try and solve, with the solution following a few days later.
The position below is this week’s problem, a helpmate with 2 solutions. (Usually in a helpmate, Black moves first but in this one it is White.) Both solutions are 6.5 moves long, with White moving first and mating Black on his 7th move.
