Ok, you guys want a chess problem? I got one for you...
I'm a screenplay-writer (or I like to think I am), and I'm working on
a short film in which a game of chess between two of the main
characters is an important part of the story line.
Basic idea is this: one of the players sacrifices his Queen in what
seems to be a ridiculous move, but what a few moves later turns out to
be a brilliant strategy as he wins the game. What I'm looking for is
the board setup at that point, and the last moves. Oh yeah, one more
thing, the Queen has to be taken by one of the Knights, and after that
move it should be over in no more than five or six moves.
I know this is film, so we can easily fake this, but it would be nice
if the moves were actually possible.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated... (though not refunded, this is
a very low budget film, if it ever gets made...)
