Key: The intended solution was B-R7. It is interesting to note that the solvers discovered either the cook or the intended solution, but not both, therefore only three points will be given. If anyone had discovered both, they would have received three more points.
The cook is: 1. P-K7ch., if KxP. 2. N-N6ch, KxR. 3. Q-N2 or Rsq. mate. 1. K-N2. 2. P-B8(Qch), RxQ. 3 PxR(Q) mate.
Game Department
It isn't very often the world's champion loses a game in match play. In a recent small four-game match with Dr. O. Bernstein, which ended in a draw, each won a game and drew two. This finally played game shows the strength of Dr. Bernstein, and the end-game needs special attention for the student.
