Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #133

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

White to play and win

Solution

Straightforward today. 1 Rh7+ Kh7 (else 2 Rff7) 2 Rf7+ Rf7 3 Qg6+ Kh8[] 4 Qf7 and the fact that Black’s Queen is LPDO means the Be7 is fatally pinned, and if e.g. 4…Ng5, 5 e6+ wins.
