Dear retro friends,
The chess column of the /Stuttgarter Zeitung/ (run by Harald Keilhack)
has published a set of retro chess puzzles.
In the sign of the retracting a move, this year's Christmas puzzles are
presented, as always, compiled by Werner Keym.
By retracting a move, chess men that have already been captured can come
back to life, and if necessary, a (pawn's) promotion can be reversed.
As usual, it should always be checked whether there are multiple
solutions. The solution will be published in next week's edition of the
newspaper.

Bernd Schwarzkopf

Werner Keym, Stuttgarter Zeitung 2005

a) diagram
b) Bh8 -> f8
~~~~~~
Jens Guballa
White retracts a move and checkmates in one move instead. (6+5)
~~~~~~
Have fun solving!
Jens
