Chess Club

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: The first move is Ra3.

The White rook moves from c3 to a3, then Black knight to a3, followed by White pawn to b4 and Black king to a4. The next move by White is checkmate.

The Chess Club meets under the umbrella behind Clubhouse 3 from 1:30-6 p.m. on Fridays, weather permitting, and/or in Clubhouse 3, Room 7. Beginners are welcome for a free lesson.
