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: Ra6. The White rook moves from a3 to a6. The Black pawn to a6, then White to Bg2. Black rook moves to c6, and the next move by White is checkmate.
