Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #262

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

Black to play and mate White

Varady v Lengyel, Budapest 1962

Solution

By chance, only this morning I had been solving some puzzles from one of Mosalenko’s training books, and in the particular chapter, there were a few skewers and clearances.

1…Re4! clears the way for 2…Qh7 mate.
