It’s Your Move: daily chess puzzle # 114

White to play and win

Schmid v Höhenberger, Regensburg 1965

Solution

Fairly easy, because standard: a Greek gift, and then bring more pieces to the party. 1 Bh7+ Kh7 2 Qh5+ Kg8 3 Ne4

If for instance 3..Rfd8 then 4 g6 Be8, and 5 Nf6+! Kf8 6 Qh8+ Ke7[] 7 Qg7, and white is to be preferred 🙂

2 Ne4 is equally good.
