Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #451

October 11, 2017

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


Fuller v Steedman, Chester 1979
Solution 
Quite pretty today. 
1 Ng6+ exploits the fact that 1…fg? 2 f7+ is terminal. 
So 1…Kg8[] when 2 Ne7+ Kh8[] 3 Qh6 Rg8



And now the coup de grace 4 Qg7+! 
4….Rg7[] 5fg is a very efficient mate. 


FEN 
r2q1r1k/1p3p1p/3n1P2/1p1pN2Q/3B4/1P6/P5PP/R5K1 w – – 0 1
