Play online chess		 Subject: Possible mistake in chess puzle on Nov 28

Message:
Colleagues, I solved chess puzzle on Nov 28 (from chess puzzle competition) and gave it to my friend. While analyzing the solution, we noticed that after 1. Nb4 c2 2.Qc1 black can actually play 2 ... b1"Bishop" !!!!!!!! creating a stalemate situation! Now white player would have to use another move to allow black move and, therefore, wouldn't be able to checkmate in 4 (unless I'm missing anything).

Please, correct me if I'm wrong in any respect. I didn't find the way to communicate it to GameKnot guys.

Best,
- Igor
