It’s Your Move: daily chess puzzle # 100
Black to play and win
Madan v Gragger, Tel Aviv 1964
Solution
After first looking at ways of adding to the pressure, like 1…Ne4 or 1…Bh3, and finding them lacking, I turned to examine all biffs and found the solution : 1…Bf2+! 2 Kf2 Ne4+
If 3 Ke1 f2+ is mate so 3 Kg1, when cleanest is 3…Rf1+! 4…Bh3+ and 5…f2+
