Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #362
Another puzzle from Dragoslav Andric’s 1981 book “Matni Udar”.
White to play and mate Black
Dvoiris v Spassky, 1972
Solution
Yesterday, Timman lost, and today it is Spassky’s turn. Strangely, the game isn’t in Megabase.
1 Bc4+! wins more than the exchange.
1…Rc4 2 Rd8+ Kf7 3 Qf5+ Qf6
And now the pretty denouement 4 Re7+!! and mate next move.
FEN
2rr2k1/1b4p1/7p/p4p2/5b2/2qB4/P1Q3PP/3RR1K1 w – – 0 1
