Legendary GM Walter Browner just turned 60 yesterday. He won 6 US Championships and played in 6 Olympiads (2 for Australia and 4 for the US).
Here is a tribute puzzle to Walter by ChessToday.net. It is Black to move. How should Black proceed?
Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Qxc4+ seems very good.
Browne, not Browner or Brownest.
Old 6 time had one moment of fame on National TV during the Fischer era.
His quote “I am the 6 time National Champion”
What a conceited ass.
Qxc4+ Kxc4 Ba6+ Kc5 Bf8#
1 … Qxc4+
2 Kxc4 Ba6+
3 Kc5 Bf8??
4 Kxd4!
So instead of the blunder, black plays:
3 … d6+
4 Kc6 Ne7#
Also, white has another choice on move 3:
3 Nb5 Bxb5+
4 Kb4 Bxe7+ followed by Bxd1 -+
“Browne, not Browner or Brownest.”
You forgot Brownian Motion.
4 Kc6 is an illegal move as the black knight on d4 protects the c6 square
Yeah, in that line 3 …d6# is mate already!
