Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #426

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

Black to play and mate White

German v Ramfeld 1976

Solution

Nice: took me a while to see that after 1..Ng3+ 2 hg[] Black has time for a rook lift 2…Rf6, and if White exchanges on f2, the h-file mate still applies.
