Today's Brain Teaser
Jerry Mayor of Smellville
From Braingle.com (courtesy of Mad Ade)

One day Jerry Mayor from Smelliville was visiting the neighbouring country of Madadia and was sitting in the Penistone mainline railway station. He was sitting very uncomfortably in the waiting room and was staring intently at two doors that were at the opposite end of the room. Jerry Mayor was not a happy man at that point. In fact he was in dire distress. He then noticed a young man enter one of the doors. Instantly Jerry, with a great smile, followed the young man through the door and after a few moments he returned with an even bigger smile on his face.

Why would Jerry Mayor be so happy after following a young man through the door?

White to Play and Mate in Two

It seems so simple. White moves. Black moves. White mates. Black usually gets many choices, but they all lead to mate. People get hooked on two-movers, and these puzzles are the most popular of chess problems.

We have one today that was composed by a 16 year old boy, George Derrickson of Philadelphia back around 1861. Tragically, he died at 17. According to the estimable chess historian Edward Winter in his book, Kings, Commoners and Knaves, we have only one game score of his play, but he was considered to be a real future star in the chess firmament. Winter offers this problem composed by Derrickson. Have fun with it!
