White to Play and Mate

By Pete Tamburro

We have talked a great deal about looking for moves that force your opponent to certain squares, thus limiting the mobility of the king, for example, when you're trying to mate his highness. We've also talked a great deal about the value of a check. I hope you'll take all this to heart in solving this spectacular finish to a real game won by Hartlaub in 1930.
