Normally I post the solutions directly under my chess puzzles, but since this proved to be really difficult and complex, I decided to dedicate it a complete new article plus DTube video.
</p>
<p>
Here again the starting position, in which white should checkmate in 17 moves at the latest:

Normalerweise poste ich die Lösungen direkt unter meinen Schachrätseln, aber da sich dieses als sehr schwierig und komplex erwies, entschied ich mich für einen eigenen Artikel samt DTube video.

<p>
Hier nochmals die Ausgangsstellung, in welcher Weiß in spätestens 17 Zügen schachmatt setzen soll:

White begins by castling king's side, threatening the black king with a fatal discovered check.
</p>
<p>
1. 0-0!
</p>
<p>
We now consider <b>a) 1. ... Kf7</b> and <b>b) 1. ... Kf5</b>. After 1. ... e4 wins 2. Ng4#, and after 1. ... g4 wins 2. ... Ne4#.

<b>1. 0-0! Kf7</b>

Weiß beginnt mit der kurzen Rochade, wodurch dem schwarzen König ein fatales Abszugsschach droht.
</p>
<p>
1. 0-0!
</p>
<p>
Wir betrachten nun <b>a) 1. ... Kf7</b> und <b>b) 1. ... Kf5</b>. Nach 1. ... e4 gewinnt 2. Sg4#, und nach 1. ... g4 gewinnt 2. Se4#.

<p>
<br>
<b>1. 0-0! Kf5</b>
<br>
<b>2. Nd1+!</b>
</p>
</p>
<p>
Again, black has two choices: the obvious <b>b1) 2. ... Kg4</b> and the surprisingly more promising <b>b2) Bf2+!?</b>.
</p>
<h1>
b1)

<p>
<br>
<b>1. 0-0! Kf5</b>
<br>
<b>2. Nd1! Kg4</b>
<br>
<b>3. Ne3+ Kh5</b>
<br>
<b>4. g4+ Kh6</b>
<br>
<b>5. Rc8! Kh7</b> Rh8# has to be prevented.
<br>
<b>6. Rff8! b1Q+</b>
<br>
<b>7. Nf1 Bf2+!</b>
<br>
<b>8. Kh2! Bg3+</b>
<br>
After 8. Kxf2 Nxd3+ it lasts significantly longer until checkmate, and after 8. Kg2 actually black wins!
<br>
<b>9. Kg2!</b> Most accurate. <b>9. ... Qxf1+</b>
<br>
<b>10. Kxf1 Qb1+</b>
<br>
<b>11. Kg2 Qg1+</b>
<br>
<b>12. Kxg1 Bf2+</b>
<br>
<b>13. Rxf2 a2</b>
<br>
<b>14. Rh2#</b> checkmate.

<p>
<br>
<b>1. 0-0! Kf5</b>
<br>
<b>2. Sd1+!</b>
</p>
<p>
Wieder hat Schwarz zwei Möglichkeiten: Das naheliegende <b>b1) 2. ... Kg4 </b> und das überraschenderweise erfolgversprechendere <b>b2) Lf2+!?</b>.
</p>
<h1>
b1)
</h1>
<p>
<br>
<b>1. 0-0! Kf5</b>

<b>2. Sd1! Kg4</b>
<br>
<b>3. Se3+ Kh5</b>
<br>
<b>4. g4+ Kh6</b>
<br>
<b>5. Tc8! Kh7</b> Th8# muss verhindert werden.
<br>
<b>6. Tff8! b1D+</b>
<br>
<b>7. Sf1 Lf2+!</b>
<br>
<b>8. Kh2! Lg3+</b>
<br>
Nach 8. Kxf2 Sxd3+ dauert es deutlich länger bis zum Matt, und nach 8. Kg2 gewinnt sogar Scharz!
<br>
<b>9. Kg2!</b> Am genauesten. <b>9. ... Dxf1+</b>
<br>
<b>10. Kxf1 Db1+</b>
<br>
<b>11. Kg2 Dg1+</b>
<br>
<b>12. Kxg1 Lf2+</b>

<b>13. Txf2 a2</b>
<br>
<b>14. Th2#</b> schachmatt.
