For Hank Only Poem by Kim Barney
For Hank Only
This chess problem is for my friend, Hank Beuning.
White to move and mate in five.
Hank solves problems like this on his own, without the aid of computer programs.
Have fun, Hank! Show all five moves, not just the first one.
Member: Darwin Henry Beuning Comment: Kim, I think there is a quicker mate in 4. White Black 1. Queen Captures Knight Rook captures Queen 2. Rook to E8 Check Rook to F8 3. Bishop to C4 Check King to H8 4. Rook captures Rook- Checkmate. Hank, Black prolongs it one move: 3. Bc4+... Re6 4. Bxe6+... Kh8 5. Rxf8+
