White to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

This position arises from a game starting out this way: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Qxd4 Nc6 5.Bb5 Nf6 6.Bg5 h6 7.Bd2 g6 8.0–0 Bg7 9.Rd1 Nh5 10.e5 dxe5. If you were White how would you proceed from here?


Solution:

It’s a mate in three with: 11.Qxd8+ Kxd8 12.Ba5+ Ke8 13.Rd8#
