Chess Puzzles: The Art of Zugzwang

The action on the chessboard is in the moves and chess players are eager to make them. But sometimes they would rather stay put, skip a move, go for a walk and never come back. The dreaded word "zugzwang" crosses their mind and they know they are in trouble.
Zugzwang is a German word and, according to chess historians, it was introduced into English in 1904 by the world champion Emanuel Lasker.

What does it mean being in zugzwang? In simple terms, you have to move and you don't want to. Every move you make leads to a worse position and often to an outright disaster. You see it mostly in the endgame, sometimes in the middlegame and never in the opening. It flourishes in chess compositions - in chess problems and endgame studies.

We give three examples of the zugzwang theme. Try to solve them! We will publish the solutions on Monday, June 7.

The first example is a chess problem, in which White mates in two moves. It is attributed to Paul Morphy, an American genius who conquered the chess world in the late 1850s.

Paul Morphy

White mates in two moves

One clear rule of chess is that king against king, with no other pieces, is a draw. It is still a draw if you add two knights to one side. Or is it? The French poet, novelist and playwright, Alfred de Musset (1810-1857), played chess with passion, fantasy and temperament in the Cafe de la Regence in Paris. He became famous, but not as a chess player.
In 1849 he composed and published a wonderful chess problem that turned the theory about two knights upside down, as if to prove that almost every strategical and tactical rule in chess has its exception. The solution to his three-mover, based on zugzwang, is remarkable.

Alfred de Musset

White mates in three moves

The theme of dominating knights appeared in the work of the Latvian chess composer Johann Sehwers (1868-1940), also known as Janis Zevers. He was a prominent linguist and literary historian and his collection of 64 endgame studies, "Endspielstudien," was published in Germany in 1922. Try to find out how white wins in Sehwers's amusing study.

White wins

To all those, who welcomed me back, many, many thanks! We plan to run the column twice a month. Chess puzzles will appear separately every two weeks.

Due finali patti: Donna contro Alfiere e Cavallo

Queen special draw against Knight and Bishop

Imput the following two FEN code here:
http://www.shredderchess.com/online-chess/online-databases/endgame-database.html

This is well known:
FEN:
7k/6b1/8/4n3/8/8/K7/1Q6 b - - 0 1


But this came to me as a real surprise:
FEN:
7b/6k1/8/4n3/8/8/K7/1Q6 b - - 0 1


In italiano: l'Alfiere eunuco, castrato nell'angolo, riesce a far pari con la Donna, grazie al Cavallo...

Da cui potrebbe derivare un simpatico problema, Il N. muove e patta:
Black move and draw
FEN:
7b/6k1/8/8/8/5n2/K7/1Q6 b - - 0 1

The Perreux Variation of the Two Knights Defense

La variante Perreux della difesa due cavalli mi interessa particolarmente perché derivabile anche dal gambetto Urusov: 1.e4 e5 2.Ac4 Cf6 3.d4 exd4 4.Cf3 - e ora se 4... Cc6, allora 5.Cg5

Qui ho pubblicato una tavola delle varianti in pdf aggiornata al 18 aprile 2010:

Qui alcuni link utili, per studiare la variante con un po' di commenti:

The Perreux Variation of the Two Knights Defense

http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~goeller/urusov/perreux/index.html
"The Perreux Variation of the Two Knights Defense typically arises after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d4 exd4 5.Ng5, or by transposition from the Urusov Gambit. Its name probably derives from the chess club of Perreux-sur-Marne (cercle du Perreux), just outside Paris, where it first became popular in the 19th century. Its sharp tactical themes are easy to grasp and make it attractive to beginning players, but it has also been played by masters who like that many lines lead to interesting endgame positions where good technique can win. As a forcing line, the Perreux Variation also has the advantage of limiting the number of subvariations, so the amount of opening theory is not large. Black is immediately forced to defend his f-pawn by either 5....Ne5 or 5....d5 "

About: my goal with Fire was to combine all the best ideas, features, and strengths from the IppoLit family of releases...IppoLit, RobboLito, Igorrit, and IvanHoe. in addition i have added all the best ideas that Sentinel and i came up with during the development of Robbolito 0.085g3. with enormous beta testing help from the Decembrists and Robbolito comrades, we posted more than a dozen public betas on Immortal223 during the last four months of 2009 (for details, please see the RobboLito page)
