ANCIENT CHINESE PUZZLE.

(The Guarded Chessboard)
My next puzzle is supposed to be Chinese, many hundreds of years old,
and never fails to interest. White to play and mate, moving each of the
three pieces once, and once only.


Answer:

Play as follows:--
1. R--Q 6
2. K--R 7
3. R (R 6)--B 6 (mate).
Black's moves are forced, so need not be given.
