Comment How literal? (Score 1) 281
The problem can be stated in one simple line: A game begins with 1.e4 and ends in the fifth move with knight takes rook mate. What are the moves?
If this is readable as "Knight takes rook," "Mate," then:
1. e4 Nc6
2. Qf3 Na5
3. e5 Nb3
4. e6 Nxa1
5. exf7#
There were mentions that there might be a bit of word-play going on here.. I wonder if it comes down to that?
