Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #439

September 19, 2017

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

White to play and mate Black


Casper v Grottke, Hungary, 1977
Solution 
Again not too hard today. 1 Ne8! is a standard interference. 1…Bh6 2 Qf8+! and mates, since the Ne8 controls g7; and if 1…Qe8, 2 Qg7 or 2 Bg7 are both mate. 

FEN 
r2q1n1k/pp1b1QNp/7B/2p1p1b1/3pP3/1P1P2P1/1PP4P/5RK1 w – – 0 1
