Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #440

Another puzzle from Dragoslav Andric’s 1981 book “Matni Udar”.
Black to play and mate White.

Jones v Horner, Seul 1977
Solution
A nice one today. And a special one for any chess player in NW England, especially those like me who have known and liked Jeff Horner (in my case, for all my chess life).

When I saw this position, I saw “Horner” and instantly think “Jeff”; and also see “Jones” and think “another British name”; but when I see “Seul” I think “Seoul, Korea” and don’t think of Jeff. So I contacted Jeff, and whilst he doesn’t recall the game, thinks it must be his game vs Brian Jones; he and Brian both played in a tournament in Sale, near Manchester, in 1977.

IM Jeff Horner, one of the finest NW players of my lifetime

So, with a fair degree of confidence, I think this position is from Brian Jones v Jeff Horner, Sale, Manchester, 1977.

Now to enjoy Jeff’s finishing moves:
1…. Ne3+! 2fe (2Ke1 Qd2 mate) 2…Qa6+!

3 Qd3! Rc5! 0-1.
