| Apr 10, 2016 at 6:00 | comment | added | Sleafar | @JulianRosen I wasn't aware there were other methods to solve this than the intended one. The reason I accepted this is: 1) the black king is mated 2) he cannot mate the white king by repeating the move 3) the mating piece is not taken. The previous solution found by klm123 was probably even more convincing but way longer. | |
| Apr 9, 2016 at 22:08 | comment | added | klm123 | @JulianRosen, the rules are quite subjective and only the author can say what is forbidden and what is not. But note, that initially the point was not that you can leave your king in check, it is impossible to win a game otherwise, but "What kind of mate is that, if I can mate you as well?". | |
| Apr 9, 2016 at 21:52 | comment | added | Julian Rosen | The question asks for a mate such that black cannot repeat the mating move. Here black could play Kc5. This is of course illegal because black is moving into check, but even in Part 1 black's option of repeating white's move leaves the black king in check. | |

| Apr 9, 2016 at 15:41 | comment | added | Sleafar | It's not the intended solution, but I think it's valid. I'll post the solution from the original story in a separate answer. | |
| Apr 9, 2016 at 15:31 | comment | added | klm123 | @Sleafar, This looks like mate, plz check. | |

| Apr 9, 2016 at 14:29 | comment | added | f'' | I'm thinking the obscure rule might be en passant, but at that point Kao Tse might think Li Chai was just making the rules up. | |
| Apr 9, 2016 at 14:12 | comment | added | klm123 | @Sleafar, twice less moves? Easy! But not right now) Thanks for the help with gif-s. | |
| Apr 9, 2016 at 14:10 | comment | added | Sleafar | Nice idea and within the rules, but there is another possibility which makes use of a rather obscure chess rule and needs only 13 moves. Can you find it? | |
