White to Play and Mate

By Pete Tamburro

Many serious chess players are more than familiar with the accompanying diagram. It is from a famous game, Zukertort-Blackburne, London 1883, and White continued with 31.Bxe5+ and Black resigned in a few moves in a dismal position. In the 1950s, Edgard Tchelebi, from Beirut, wrote to British Chess Magazine that he had found a forced mate in seven! Son of a gun! He was right! See if you can find what he found. It's all done with checks, checks, checks!
