Chapter 9, Mate in Two Moves
Also a bit of chat from me about chess problems and why we might be interested in solving them.
Part II: because it might help us get into the habit of focusing on the other guy's opportunities and resources as well as our own.
If you want to jump straight to the position of the day (I won't be offended) start at 04:30.
