🇨🇦🇩🇪🇨🇳张殿李🇨🇳🇩🇪🇨🇦This is another puzzle that I found interesting, amusing, or just plain fiendishly difficult. (I won't tell you which of the three to protect my ego.)
This is problem 94 from the books. The first image is the problem, the second is the solution following the arrow sequence of red-yellow-green. Don't look at it if you want to try the challenge yourself. Red to move, checkmate in two.
A side note: I'm really enjoying the power of the cannon/horse pairing.

I have always enjoyed playing 象棋 (Xiàngqí, a.k.a. Chinese Chess). I find it a superior game, in terms of actual enjoyment, to Chess. But I suck at it. Which is weird because usually people hate doing things they're bad at.
Recently I picked up a pair of books of endgame tactics. This is because SO said, and I quote, "While you're terrible at every phase of play, it is the very technical endgame that you suck at most."
Isn't he a dear?
Anyway, the result is that I'm plugging away in my very spare time at solving endgame puzzles and occasionally I find one that I think is interesting, amusing, or is just plain fiendishly difficult. I've decided to start sharing these. When I do I won't tell you if I found it interesting, amusing, or difficult because I don't want to embarrass myself.
This is problem 89 from the books. The first image is the problem, the second is the solution following the arrow sequence of red-yellow-green. Don't look at it if you want to try the challenge yourself. Red to move, checkmate in two.
