Cordingley puzzle 169 #chess
White to play and win
Solution
A straightforward one. The immediate thought is that a capture is needed to break open the position. When these are examined one by one, 1 Nf5 sticks out, and all that is needed to see is that the Kg6 is tied to the Qf5, so that Rg3+ Rg3+ breaks the tie, and game over: and not taking the knight is clearly hopeless.
