My father showed me this chess puzzle. At first I thought the solution was clear:

Qf8 - RxQf8

RxRf8 - Nc8

Ra8 - KxRa8

RxNc8#

But what if Black doesn't take the queen with the rook but instead puts his queen on d8?

It took me a while to figure this out but I found a good solution:

Qf8 - Qd8

Ra8 - KxRa8

QxQd8 - RxQd8

b6xc7 - Ka7

c7xRd8=Q

From here on there are different ways to checkmate depending on how the game goes.

If you see a better solution or an mistake, please write to me :)

I love these books. My favorite one is “The Hound of the Baskervilles” and I highly recommend it :)

That was our graduation prank... nothing special, but the teachers freaked out.

We had to clean everything up immediately and were yelled at for two hours. But I will never forget the teachers' faces....

and by the way, the roses on the car no longer had thorns. On the other hand, the teacher who owned the car would definitely have reported it to us.
