11/10 Bayer, Conrad born in Olomouc, Czechoslovakia. Prize-winning problemist. .

1856.07.06
The Immortal Problem composed by Conrad Bayer.>

The so-called "Imortal Problem" is a Mate in 9, quite in the taste of the 1850's - today we'll call it an orgy of sacrifices. Some of Bayer's compositions in more reasonable format can be seen on-line and printed for free, for instance here in a Tournament Bulletin from 1857 http://www.algonet.se/~ath/era.pdf

White to move, mate in 9.

Dec-13-08  Calli: The Immortal Problem gives me a headache. I think that's why they called it Bayer aspirin. <8-}

amadeus: The immortal problem: White to move, mate in 9>

It is mate in 10.

Jul-17-10  vonKrolock: Quite a good lot of Bayer's compositions is available in Brian Stephenson's <Meson> online base http://www.bstephen.me.uk/cgi-bin/m...

  Phony Benoni: Just in case you've been wracking your brains the last two years trying to solve the Immortal Problem:

Here's the intended solution: <1.Rb7 Qxb7 2.Bxg6+ Kxg6 3.Qg8+ Kxf5 4.Qg4+ Ke5 5.Qh5+ Rf5 6.f4+ Bxf4 7.Qxe2+ Bxe2 8.Re4+ dxe4 9.d4#>

If <kramputz> is correct and this is actually a mate in 10, the improvement is probably at move one for Black. Everything seems forced after that.
