Black to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

This is from a 5-minute game I played recently played as Black. It’s your move, and you have three minutes and nineteen seconds to come up with your reply to White’s BxN on d5.


Solution:

Here’s the whole wacky game. I did miss a nice move on move 14. Hope you see why it was winning. 1.d4 Nf6 2.h3 b6 3.g4 Bb7 4.Nf3 Bxf3 5.exf3 d5 6.Bg2 e6 7.0–0 Bd6 8.g5 Nh5 9.h4 h6 10.f4 hxg5 11.fxg5 Qe7 12.Qf3 Nc6 13.Be3 0–0–0 14.c4 Nb4 [14...Nf4 15.Bxf4 Nxd4 16.Qg4 Bxf4]15.Qe2 Nf4 16.Bxf4 Bxf4 17.cxd5 Nxd5 18.Qa6+ Kd7 19.Qb5+ c6 20.Qa6 Rxh4 21.Bxd5 (see diagrame) Qxg5+ 22.Bg2 Bh2+ 23.Kh1 Bc7+ 24.Kg1 Rh1+ 25.Kxh1 Qh4+ White Resigned as it’s mate coming up.
