Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #235

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

Black to play and mate White

Parma v Damjanovic

Solution

I found a solution, which Komodo 10 gives as -9, though in the game, Black played Komodo’s even stronger line.

I played 1…Rf2, meeting 2 Bg8 with 2..Nf3: but 2 Bf1 grovels on.

So, better, 1…Rg2! 2 Kg2[] Qg6+

3 Kh1 Rf2 4 Rg1 and now the pretty 4…Nf3! 0-1
