White to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

When I ran across this puzzle in Reinfeld’s book (could not find a game reference), it immediately struck me how important an attacking idea was demonstrated here. In fact, another game played years ago popped right into my mind that Fischer had won with the same idea. I’ll give that puzzle next time. There’s a forced mate here.


Solution:

The mating attack comes from 1.Nfg5 fxg5 2.Nf6 Bxf6 3.Be4 and mate next move can’t be stopped. The way White forces Black to occupy f6 so f5 can’t be played is an important theme.
