Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #335
Another puzzle from Dragoslav Andric’s 1981 book “Matni Udar”.
White to play and mate Black
Zilberstein v Dementjev, Groznij 1968
Solution
What opening was this from? Must have been a King’s Indian Attack.
The final moves are nice, and a motif I don’t recall seeing before. 1 Nf6+ Kh8 2 Ne8! and either capture leads to mate, or 2…Kg8 is met by 3 Nc7 and mate soon.
