ChessBase Christmas Puzzles 2001

Submit your solutions

Dear ChessBase friends, we trust you had a peaceful and happy holiday week, and that our annual Christmas puzzles brought you joy and not distress. The time has come, at last, to submit your solutions to the eight problems listed below.

What you can win

By submitting an answer to the Christmas problems you automatically participate in a raffle for a very special prize. It is a copy of our chess program Fritz, signed by some of the world's top players (including at least one world champion). Depending on the number of submissions more than one prize may be distributed.

In order to be eligible for a prize you must answer at least three puzzles correctly. The winner will not be decided on the basis of how many problems he or she has solved, but purely by chance.

How to participate

  • Please send your solutions to the email address given below.
  • All entries must arrive by January 31, 2002.
  • Only one entry per person. If more than one solution is received only the first will be considered. You have plenty of time – the order in which the solutions are received is irrelevant to the drawing of the winner.
  • Please include brief comments on the puzzles – not too long, please! There will be an additional prize for the nicest notes we receive.
  • The correct solutions will be published in the first week of February.

The ChessBase Christmas Puzzle competition is now closed.
Solutions are to be found at the end of each problem.
