didn’t checek it with a board but it doesn’t look so difficult:
1. Ba4+! Kc4 (if KxB then 2. Nc3+ Kb3 3. Nd2X) 2. b3+ Kd3 3. Bb5+ Ke4 4. Rg4+ and now: 4.. Kf5 5. Ne3X and 4.. Rf4 5. Rf4x
Braking news! The Turks are suing the Slovenians!!!!!
Don’t have my fritz installed yet! Why don’t you make the POLGAR ENGINE, that’s the only thing you are missing!??!
Fritz cant see checkmates, as Alexandra Kosteniuk pointed out ages ago, thrashing Fritz 10 and all similar “junk” engines. Just search for Fritz 10 cant see a mate in 2, and you’ll see what the companies are doing to us.
depth 5 plies +99.91 (equal to mate) 1283 nodes 0:00.02(0.02 secs) Ba4+ Kc4 b3+ Kd3 Bb5+ Ke4 Rg4+ Kf5 Ne3#
Toga II solves it in 2 hundredths of a second.
My version of Fritz (10) solves this mate in an instant.
