Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #441
Another puzzle from Dragoslav Andric’s 1981 book “Matni Udar”.
Black to play and mate White.
Jurjev v Tischler, Moscow 1977
Solution
1…Qf5! exploits the pinned Be4 and LPDO Qc2. Then say 2 Nc3 Rfe8 adds to the pressure, 3 Re1 Re4! 4 Ne4 Re8 and control is complete.
5 g4 Re4! is a cute finale: 6 gf Re1 mate.
