The 4th FIDE World Cup in Composing was held early this year by WFCC. The two-mover section received as many as 50 problems. Valery Shanshin (Russia) was the winner of the First Prize. Two of our readers got the solution right. We congratulate them and thank the others for their efforts-Ed.

    Oh, I see. I overlooked Bxb7 after the rook moves with discovery.

    Dear reader,
    Your sequence, 1.Rxf5+ Bxb7 2.Qf4+ ?? overlooks 2…Bxf4.
    Try again.
