Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

We’re going to look at epaulette mates this week. Given that hint, this first one by J. Krejcik in 1908, should be a pretty easy mate in three.


- Solution: 1.Rxf8+ Rxf8 [1...Kxf8 2.Rxd8+ Rxd8 3.Qxd8#] 2.Rxd8+ Rxd8 3.Qe6# and the king’s epaulettes preventing him from escaping.
