Published in Chess Puzzles

If you have spent any length of time with this puzzle column, you have to know White’s first move here! The question, however, is whether you can see all the lines that demonstrate how White wins here.


Solution:

The position arose from this game--San Segundo, P.-Gallardo, S., Malaga, 1999: 1.e4 g6 2.d4 d6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.f4 c6 5.Nf3 Nd7 6.Bc4 b5 7.Bb3 a5 8.a4 b4 9.Ne2 Ba6 10.f5 gxf5 11.Ng3 fxe4 12.Bxf7+ Kxf7 [12...Kf8 13.Ng5 Ngf6 14.Ne6+] 13.Ng5+ Kf8 [13...Kf6 14.Qg4 Bh6 15.Qf4+ Kg7 16.Qf7#] 14.Ne6+ Kf7 15.Qh5+ Kxe6 16.Qf5#
