Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #222

February 2, 2017

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

 

White to play and win

2221

Fischer v Reshevsky, New York 1958

 

Solution

One from my childhood: 1 Bf7+ Kf7 2 Ne6 is a famous motif.

2222

Looking at the game in Megabase now, it is strange that Reshevsky held on for a further 30 moves before resigning

FEN

r1bqnrk1/pp1pppbp/6p1/n3P3/3N4/1BN1B3/PPP2PPP/R2QK2R w KQ – 0 10
