    Tsume 1 (problem) - Level beginner

    This is the first problem in a small book I have, check-mate in 1 move.

    The opponent's King is in the back right corner of the board. You have a Pawn on the third row in front of it.

    In your drop zone, you have a Rook, a Gold General and a Silver General available.

    Please use the spoiler tag to post your answer :)

    Solution

    Drop Gold General in front of the King at 1二, protected by the Pawn at 1三.

    Wrong moves:

    • dropping the Rook at 1二, at 3一 or at 4一 lets the King escape to 2一,
    • dropping the Silver General at 1二 lets the King escape to 2二
    • dropping a Gold or Silver General at 2二 lets the King take General back at 2二, since it isn't protected by the Pawn.

    Reminder of the movements of the pieces:
