Black to Play
Published in Chess Puzzles
Attacking a castled position is easier when there are no defenders in front. Here, we have some stout supporters of the king. How did Black get through or around them? A hint, Black had just sacrificed his knight on g2 and White took it with the king. Why did Black do that?
Solution:
From an actual game, Hulsmann-Engert, Dusseldorf, 1965. Black won by: 1…Bh3+ 2.Kxh3 Qf3 and White Resigned as there is no real defense to 3…Nf4. For example. 3.Rd3 Nf4+ 4.Kh4 Qh5 mate.
