I sincerely hope this letter finds you in the best of health and spirits. I’ve only begun to understand this blogging business. So, I sincerely apologize for all the hassle I’ve caused you on chessgames.com. Essentially, the only concern I’ve had to date was merely to seek a way to confirm whether or not I had correctly solved your previous puzzles, as I could not find any clue to that on your blogspot page. But, as I’ve repeatedly pointed out on chess-games.com, I’m not Internet savvy and learning how to use, let alone master, it is a slow and gradual process for me. So I truly appreciate all your patience and tolerance. Thank you most kindly for your anticipated patience, tolerance, understanding, consideration and assistance. Take very good care and have yourself a most joyous day, every day.
At first I looked at Rf7 which I figured QxR and BxQ and then KxB. so I won the queen. but as I looked at that, I said well he has to take rook with the Queen or else it is mate.
then I sat back and looked at more of the board and saw the queen down in the bottom corner with the open h file. so I began to see if I could get the queen involved. so after the king took the bishop I went down to Qh7 check and said this is silly and saw the queen sac on h8. viola. I had another one solved. it feels like it has been awhile since i got one.
Qh8+ QxQ
Rf7 mate
How did you answer so quickly? 🙂

Too easy. If Kerry can solve it, it’s too easy. 😉
Thanks for posting another one I could solve 😛

Just lucky… I happened to check just after you posted the puzzle and Qh8 jumped out at me…

“if Kerry can solve it, it’s too easy”
No doubt!
Hey I got this one.
It was extremely difficult haha.
I love the ones that I can solve.
Keep up the good work Susan.
I need to solve one here and there. these can lay the foundation for more complex solutions.
