Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #366
Another puzzle from Dragoslav Andric’s 1981 book “Matni Udar”.
White to play and mate Black
Müller v Pichler, Umag 1972
Solution
1 Ngh6+ gh 2 Qg4+ Kh8[] is obvious, but what then?
After some thought, I saw 3 Rg7! which threatens 4 Rg8 mate, and if the Bishop moves, 4 Rh7+! clears the way for 5 Qg7 mate.
