Daily Chess Puzzle for December 16, 2011

Hey Gang,

I apologize for the extra puzzles being sent this week.  I have NO idea why it's happening.  I haven't changed any code for a couple of weeks, so I'm stumped as to what could be different now.  But I promise if it happens again on Friday, that I'll get to the bottom of it this weekend.

Cheers!
Brian




The Best Defense is a Strong Offense

Goal: White Moves Toward Checkmate
Difficulty: Medium
Challenge: White can worry about the pawn being promoted or he can go after checkmate. Which is the better option?
