Happy July 4th to all. There are some real fireworks in this game. Our last two puzzles dumped on the Scandinavian Defense a bit; however, here, Black gets to bite back.


Solution:

The game went like this--Luthi-Nobs, Correspondence, 1986:

1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nf3 Bg4 6.Be2 Nc6 7.0–0 0–0–0 8.Ng5 Rxd4 9.Bxg4+ Nxg4 10.Qf3 Nce5 11.Qh3 e6 12.f4 Bc5 13.Kh1

See Diagram

 

13… Nf2+ White Resigned as after 14.Rxf2 Rd1+ 15.Nxd1 Qe1+ 16.Rf1 Qxf1#

I was looking through my first chess book (The Game of Chess by Golombek)and found a section on “tricks.” We’ll do some tricks this week. Here, Black surprised White in what seemed like a stable position.

OK, suitable for a weekend puzzle, this is a long sequence with a central theme of attacking along the diagonal from a2-g8. See if you can work it out all the way to mate at the end.
