Black to Play
Published in Chess Puzzles
One of my favorite attacking players in chess history is Rashid Nezhmetdinov. Some of his combinations are so complicated and brilliant I can’t really show them here. This position is fairly straightforward, though.
Solution:
Super Nezh, as one book calls him, loved to sacrifice pieces. This is no exception: 1...Qxh2+ 2.Kxh2 Ng3+ 3.Kxg3 [3.Kg1 Rh1#] 3...f4#
