Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #486
Another puzzle from Dragoslav Andric’s 1981 book “Matni Udar”.
Black to play and mate White
Evert v Barbakadze, correspondence SSSR 1980
Solution
Nice, but not hard. 1…Qf2+ and if 2Kh1, 2…Ng3+ is horrible (say 3Ng3 Qg3 4Kg1[] Nf2 hitting h3) though even better is 2…Qh2+ and 3…Qh1mate. But the Main line is 2 Nf2 when 2…Bh2+ 3K-either Ng3 is smothered mate.
