Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #325

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

Black to play and mate White

Pokern v Huebner, Bamberg 1965

Solution

I chose the prosaic 1…Ng4, which Komodo says is -10, but Huebner played the even stronger, and far prettier, 1…Qh3, which forced resignation, but is mate in 6 (per Komodo).

Shades of Rotlewi-Rubinstein.
