Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #130

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

White to play and mate Black

Bondarevesky- Ufimeev, Leningrad 1936

Solution

My long standing readers (and this daily blog has lasted longer than I might have expected) might just remember this position.

I did, because it was the front cover of Cordingley, the first puzzle book I serialised, and I tried then, unsuccessfully, to find the game score.

Please see my April 2013 posting for the solution.
