Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #477
Another puzzle from Dragoslav Andric’s 1981 book “Matni Udar”.
Black to play and mate White
DeCarbonel v Berliner, correspondence 1980
Solution
1…c3 is a natural try:
First of all, one must check if White can capture the LPDO Queen: he can’t.
2 Qd5 cb+ 3 Rb2[] Rf1+ mates.
So the only thing which remains is to see if White has a perpetual or a save: 1 Qe8+ Kh8 2 Qe7+ Bg7 3 bc:
3…Qd6 seals the deal.
FEN
7k/8/3N2p1/3q2Pp/2pbQ2P/5r2/PP6/KR6 b – – 0 1
