Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #300

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

White to play and mate Black

Osnos v Dely, Budapest 1965

Solution

Not too hard today:  1 Bc5 hits the LPDO Bc5 and is a double attack, threatening 2 Rf8 mate. So 1…Bc5 2 Qc5 and if 2…bc, 3 Ne7+ mates.
