Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #188

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

Black to play and win

Madsen v Napolitano, corres 1953

Solution

1…Re1+! 2 Re1[] when “chess is double attack” 2…Qd4+ overload the Q: 0-1.

Fritz also likes 1…Re2, when 2 Kf1 Qe8

It is almost zugzwang, and Black has a threat of 3…Rg2; or 3…Re1+ 4 Re1 Qe1 mate: so 0-1.
