Impossible to checkmate in 6. I don't believe it.

1.Ng3 g6 2.Kh2 g4 3.Nfe4 h6 4.Kg2 h5 5.Kh2 g5 6.Nf5 mate

There are other solutions acording to the order black play his pawns but the idea is Ng3, Nfe4 (when black play g4) and wait playng the King.

I'm too lazy to write down all the lines, but in principle White will force Black to move all the king side pawns, then will smothered mate.
The starting move is
1. Ng3

Consul:
as long as you play 1.Ng3 g4 2.Nfe4 to block g5 from the black King you are right. And there is of course a lot of Kg2-h2-g2 involved

Susan, if we give you the courtesy of not using computer analysis, you should likewise give your readers the courtesy of providing/confirming the solutions. To all your puzzles.

Chess News Flash!

Walter Cronkite is dead!

Dead as a doornail, kaput, finished, end games, done.

In other news, Slam Sloon is still alive. Damn.

Thank you.
