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 Qh8.

The White queen moves from c3 to h8, then Black king to h8, followed by White bishop to f6 and Black king to g8. The next move by White is checkmate.

The Chess Club currently meets from 1:30-6 p.m. on Fridays under the umbrella behind Clubhouse 3, weather permitting, or Clubhouse 3, Room 7.
