Position 03

Its Black to move. I know, I’m partial to black but then in every book, the majority of positions, it is white to move.

Incidentally I played black in this one.

Chess Players Make Problems, Then Try To Solve Them

When I was about 19, I an 2 friends were to organize the National Chess Championship. As part of the organizing we had to get caterer to supply the food and on the day before the event, I and a friend, Chaminda (another organizer) who knew a caterer were to go and meet him.

We met near his house and while we walking to the bus stop, we realized that several buses had stopped for a traffic light. He and I ran to the nearest bus and tried to enter. Unfortunately the lights turned green and only he was able to get on. I got on the bus behind it.

As the bus I was in approached the next bus stop after the traffic lights, I saw him get down and come towards my bus. However, the bus I was in was trying to get ahead of the other buses that had stopped at the bus stop and it just overtook them without stopping at the bus stop. Chaminda could not climb on.

Now I was wondering wondering what to do. We needed to see the caterer immediately, and we had stuff to get done today – we were pressed for time. I did not know even the name of the caterer, let alone how to get there. I also was afraid to get down from the bus because, what happened at the last bus stop might happen and the bus Chaminda was in may not stop. Both of us did not have cell phones either.
