Published in Chess Puzzles

Bruce Alberston, a wonderful chess teacher and author as well as very strong master, died in the last week in November. He authored some 20 books, the most popular being his chess puzzle books. They were popular with amateur players and coaches because they really honed your tactical skills. He even challenged you with mates in one! Today’s composition is just that: mate in one!


Solution:

If you couldn’t find a mate in one, go back and find it! If you are on the edge of despair, write me.
