Cordingley puzzle 219 #chess

Black to play and win

Solution

Fairly straightforward, when you see the alignment of the two queens, and the fact that the white Qc2 is LPDO. Then 1…Nh3+! 2 gh Nd4! and it is game over- Nf3+ follows, either mating with Qh2, or winning the queen. Note that 1…Nd4?? loses to 2 Bf4.

As with several other games from the Munich 1936 Olympiad, the game score is not available.
