Chess Club

The Chess Club publishes weekly puzzles to keep the love of the game alive until its members meet to play in person again.

This week’s puzzle is checkmate in three moves. White moves first. Any answer by Black, and White’s third move is checkmate.

The solution to this week’s puzzle’s first move is: Qg8. The White Queen moves from f7 to g8. Then Black to Kg8, White Pd8 becomes a Q, and black Qe8. White’s next move is checkmate.
