Three-way chess

Only three people turned up to play chess at the Ipswich Club recently.   But that didn't put them off:


(l. to r.) - Silas Peck, Les Jones, Ken Lunn

Silas was the only person to submit a correct answer to the puzzle from a few days ago, as follows:

1. Ne3+   Ke2  2. Bxh2   Kxe3  3. Kh8   Bd5   4. g8Q   Bxg8   5. Bg1!   Now ...fxg1Q or R is stalemate.   If ...Bd5, then Bxf2+.

      Silas, in the photo it looks as if you're a knight to a pawn down against Les. But you still managed to win?!

    One of those black pawns must be a black bishop...

      Definitely not. I've blown up the photo 250% and all six are pawns.

    I remember that game and I never went down in material. There should be a black bishop on that board somewhere...

    Actually, I remember now. There's a black knight hiding behind the white knight.
