 (Mate in 4) Ambush!!
The key move is
incredibly deep!
1) Be1!!
Why would you put
your bishop on a
square where it has
no future? Besides,
after Black's next
move he is
essentially
threatening a draw
Composed by Fritz Emil Giegold
by stalemate.
Die Welt, 1968
How are we planning to deal with it?
1...g3
2) Be2!
So we have to offer a piece to keep him
out of stalemate. But what's next?
2...dxe2
3) Rb4! Kxb4
Only now do we completely understand
the point of 1) Be1!!
4) d4#
 (Mate in 4) Bristol Theme!
This one requires
a great deal of

Aha! Stopped you.
∆
2) Rgb1 ( Rb8#) Rgb2
Stopped you again
3) Qc1 Qc2
Black says, I'll never allow you to get to the
backrank. With a smile on his face, white replies,
I don't need to!
4) Qxh6+ gxh6 5) g7#
 (Mate in 5) Model Mate!
This one is an
example of a
model mate. It is
a typical Fritz
problem with a
single line. But
definitely one
which will blow
your mind. If you
managed to solve
this one, without
Composed by Fritz Emil Giegold any external help,
Main-Post 1970 you're a genius!
1) Rd8!! e6
2) Rd5 exd5
I think finding the key Rd8! is in itself an
Herculean Task!
3) Rf2 dxe4
4) Bxe4 Kxg4

Wotawa are not for humans. Which human in his
right mind can crack this?
