  2. What a coincidence! I was just playing the scotch opening!

  3. Puzzle solution: Nh4. if queen e5 or d5, Nf6 check

  4. Thanks for the good notes, for your info, in Iraq we play in two methods (Western & Eastern) chess game modes.
    Western is the one you guys playing it, while eastern (white Q face Black K & White K face Black Q), pawn moves one step only and castling is not possible.

  5. White: Nh4; are you resign?
    Black : Nope, I will don't quit.

  6. Nh4 attacks the Queen. Qe5 or Qd5 looses the Queen after Nf6+. Game over!
