JulesR Aug 2021 9:32am, 2 Aug 2021 26,526 posts	0 JulesR Nice straightforward Daily Puzzle on chess.com today. It’s not often I can say that, but feel free to contradict me just in case I’ve become a Puzzle Master overnight….

JulesR Aug 2021 9:09pm, 4 Aug 2021 26,546 posts	0 JulesR Ok I’m trumpet blowing before it’s happened, but I think I’ve got forced mate in 5 moves or less. It’s an old familiar theme at the end.

Meglet Aug 2021 3:35pm, 5 Aug 2021 21,946 posts	0 Meglet I got as far as moving the knight for a discovered check by the bishop, but haven't worked out which way to move the knight or what the next move would be...
JulesR Aug 2021 5:14pm, 5 Aug 2021 26,551 posts	0 JulesR Yes moving the knight gives a forcing check, but it’s key where the knight moves to. Where will opp’s King move to after the discovered check (if it moves) & how can we check him again next move (always looking for forcing moves)?
