Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #120

Another puzzle from Dragoslav Andric’s 1981 book “Matni Udar”.

Black to play and mate White

consulting partners v Rellstab, Berlin 1933

Solution

The sort of position which often occurs in consultation games: a spectacular finish: 1…Rd4+! 2 cd Qe1+!!

3 Ke1 Nf3+ 4 Kd1 Re1 mate.

Not hard; pretty enough, but ‘seen the type before’.
