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 Rh5.

The White rook moves from h1 to h5, then Black pawn to h5, followed by White queen to h5 and Black bishop to h6. The next move by White is checkmate.

Because of the holidays, the next meeting of the Chess Club will be Jan. 7 from 1:30-6 p.m. at Clubhouse 3, Room 7.
