Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #199

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

White to play and mate Black

Mista v Kloza, Poland 1955

(same players as yesterday, same year, it seems)

Solution

Another forcing line, also starting with a queen sac on an empty square next to the king: I wonder if they are made up positions?

Anyway, 1 Qh7+ forces 1….Kh7[] when 2 Rg7+ and check check check until mate.
