Daily Chess Puzzle

Today’s problem was seen on Twitter in November; the game isn’t in Megabase but I found it on chessgames.com where some postings doubt its authenticity; but the combination is very nice.

Since the start of 2018, I have decided to adopt the style of only saying which side is to play: and not giving an idea if the move wins or otherwise, unless on occasion I think signposting would be helpful. Instead, the problems are posed with the instruction to decide what you would play, as in a game.

Black to play

Solution

1…Rg8!;

and in the game 2 c3 Nh4+! 3 gh g5

and Black wins the queen, with an attack continuing.
