And here’s the solution to the early IBD/PPT chess puzzle, no one solved it, but MPTrader was close (http://ibankcoin.com/gioblog/?p=2170):
Knight to F4 blocks the Bking’s path to H5; Bking to H7
Bishop to G5, bishop must not give up that diagnol!; BKing forced to move to H8
Knight to G6 check; BKing forced to move to H7
Knight to F8 check!; Bking forced to move to H8
Bishop to F6 checkmate!
… the trick was limiting the black King’s moves to just one. You will notice the Black king moved from H7-H8-H7-H8 … it had no other choice because white blocked all the other squares. This is called a “zugzwang”in chess, where the other opponent forces your moves.
Lesson: Don’t let the market get you caught in a zugzwang! Set your stops based on volume then price.

Bishop to G7?
My bad, F6. i had that earlier, i don’t know why i changed that. anyway, i updated the page. Sorry!
King cannot move to H8 with Bishop on F6. I’m still having trouble.
Sorry scum, i messed up on the the notation. crap. its ‘bishop to G5’. That makes more sense, otherwise its a stalemate.
… next time I’ll put those abcdefgh12345678. I’m sort of used to the old school version.
So here we go, this is for real…
1 Nf4 Kh7
2 Bg5 Kh8
3 Ng6+ Kh7
4 Nf8+ Kh8
5 Bf6++ Mate
Got it? i think i was trying to explain it too much i screwed up the notation.
… its a nice checkmate. no?
Bishop to G5 right. Fischer always tried to keep a knight alive, he called bishops “weak” in the end game, however, working together…
Yes, a nice mate, I hate wasted moves, especially when I am the mouse.
The new notation makes much more sense than the old, but I haven’t conversed chess in decades.
and that’s why I don’t play chess… Of course, were I in that situation, I would have just moved my peices around a few times and figured it out… had I been good enough to get there.
