White to Play and Win

By Pete Tamburro

Last time out we had a position involving a queen sacrifice and a king-hunt attack that followed because White was able to keep checking with his other pieces and consequently forcing the opposing king up the board for a mate. You were promised that you would be shown a game that preceded this one because it seemed likely that this older game was the inspiration for the later attack. Try it out yourself and then see if you come to the same conclusion we do. You might do well to review the tips we had in the last puzzle.
