Solution to Problem 72

Solution: 1. G*2b K-1c 2. G*1b Lx1b 3. Gx1b Kx1b 4. G*1a Kx1a 5. L*1c Nx1c 6. B*3c K-1b 7. B-2b+ mate (13 moves) Tries: 1. G*1c Kx1c and now: 2. B*3a K-1d! 3. G*2e K-2c 4. G-3e K-3b! 5. L-2b+ K-4c 6. G*5c K-3c 2. B*2b K-1d! This problem turned out to be harder than I expected. Many solvers sent in solutions based on 1. G*1c, which does not mate. - PD
