Test your chess: daily chess puzzle # 46

Black to play: what happens if 1…Qb5?

K Dreyer v W Heidenfeld 1957

Solution

I hope you took care?

I didn't, and let myself down in this daily exercise regime, part of the process of which is to take more care, to proximate a game, rather it just being one of endless tactical problems to solve. I found 2 Qe6+ which wins sure enough after 2…Kg6[] 3 Ne5+ with some more checks and then mate, but 2 Ng5+! mates next move.
