Hello,
In tsume #CyQQy the solution is to mate by dropping a pawn. I thought this was forbidden. So now I’m confused…
Jerome
Yes, that is illegal. But the solution is:
1. 2二銀 (S*22)
2. 1二玉 (K-11)
3. 1三歩 (P*13)
4. 同馬 (Hx13)
5. 1一銀成 (S-11+)
The pawn drop did not deliver the checkmate since the horse captures it, the checkmate was delivered by promoting the silver to square 1-1.
Hope that helps, God Bless =>
