Black to Play and Mate

By Pete Tamburro

Our position is from a game by the famed chess teacher, grandmaster and player, Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch, who won this game when he was over 70 years old. His opponent has cleaned house of Dr. T's first rank by scooping up two of the doc's rooks; however, Tarrasch had a checkmate in mind while giving up all that material. Can you find the quickest way, as he did?
