Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #376

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

White to play and mate Black

James v Miles, 1974

Solution

I am assuming this game is a loss by Tony Miles, but the game isn’t in Megabase. Anyway, it is a fine finish.

1 Bh7+! Kh8[] 2 Nf7+ Rf7[] 3 Ng6+ Kh7 4 Nf8+ Kg8[] 5 Qh7+ Kf8[] 6 Qh8 mate.
