This is the first problem in a small book I have, check-mate in 1 move.
The opponent’s King is in the back right corner of the board. You have a Pawn on the third row in front of it.
In your drop zone, you have a Rook, a Gold General and a Silver General available.
Please use the spoiler tag to post your answer :)
Solution
Drop Gold General in front of the King at 1二, protected by the Pawn at 1三.
Wrong moves:
- dropping the Rook at 1二, at 3一 or at 4一 lets the King escape to 2一,
- dropping the Silver General at 1二 lets the King escape to 2二
- dropping a Gold or Silver General at 2二 lets the King take General back at 2二, since it isn’t protected by the Pawn.
Reminder of the movements of the pieces:
I added the solution to the post if you want to check it out. If you have questions don’t hesitate, I will soon post the next problem :)
