It’s Your Move: daily chess puzzle # 140

October 12, 2015

White to play and win

Radulov v Sapurov, Bulgarian championship 1966

 

Solution

 

A nice, quite unusual but worth remembering solution. Yet again, it combines various CJS Purdy motifs.

There are two LPDOs in Black's position, his two bishops. And Black's Queen is in a bit of a net. Examine all biffs leads to 1 Ra4! Qc5[] 2 Rc4! Qa5[] 3 Rc7! forking the LPDOs.
