Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #296

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

White to play and mate Black

Suetin v Nielsen, J ; Copenhagen 1965

Solution

A technical one today: which order to play the biffs: but 1 Bh6! is natural, and wins after 1…gh 2 Rd7! deflecting the Nf8 from defending the Ng6.

Then, the Ng6 is captured, then Ph6, then Ng5 mates or wins too much material.
