White Queen to E-3 and then an eventual stalemate after the black king..... After the black king is forced to capture the white bishop then the white queen moves to F-2(The second move) and then the black king must capture the white queen. After this, black has finished the game since his king is in stalemate. This is the correct sequence, TJF On January 25, 2004 at 16:48:02, Chesster Fritz wrote: >On January 25, 2004 at 16:41:48, Timothy J.
