White to Play

Published in Chess Puzzles

This finish of the game was accomplished by Tolush in 1947.


Solution:

A great example of rook and knight working together with a little unintentional help from the opposition’s knight. It’s almost a perfect pure mate as each escape square is attacked only once by a White piece or pawn. The Black knight occupies the one square not attacked by a White piece or pawn. 1.Rd6+ Kxe5 2.Nf7+ Kf5 3.g4#
