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

White to play and mate Black

3721

Razuvaev v Matulovic, Ljubljana 1973

Solution

1 Rd7! deflects the Q from defending f6. The main idea is 1…Qd7 2 Qf6+ Bg7[] 3 Bd4!!

3722

Black played 1…Qb6 when 2 Qe5 hits the Qb6 (with the Bf2) and the Rb8 is lost.

3723

 

FEN

1r1q1b1k/R4P1p/5np1/1p1P4/1PpQ4/2P5/5Bp1/6K1 w – – 0 40

One Comment
  1. If black plays 1…Kg7, his hopes still burn, albeit feebly.
