Scores on Knight Funsheet

Most of you didn't read the instructions and lost 5 points. - problems 4-6 required you to give 1 move and name the tactic you were using. Charles correctly identified fork, discovered check, and coublecheck. Worksheet was worth 20 points.
SCORES :
15 - Charles (he read the instructions)
13 - Isaac, Jon, Michael, Sawyer, Suhaas, Thomas
12 - Hale
11 - Everett, John, Lennox, Raiyan, Tapio, Theo, Zenji
10 - Nawal
8 - Bharath
0 - Dennis, Jacob (not turned in)

Solutions to some problems:












Problem 3 above: Problems 1, 2 and 3 were really all the same problem. Problem 1 was finding the final move, problem 2 was finding the penultimate (good word - look it up) move, and problem 3 was finding the first of 3 moves.
Solution: 1. Nh6+ double check!! Kh8 (not f8 which is immediate checkmate) 2. Qg8+!! (a queen sac!) Rxg8 (forced) 3. Nf7#

Problem 6:
1. c8=N+!! (double check) (Ka8 or Ka6)
2. Ra7#!
