Black to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

For anyone who plays the Sicilian Dragon Variation, the position above must seem quite familiar. How does Black continue his attack here?


Solution:

Zhuravlev-Koskin, 1936, ended this way: 1... Nxf3 2. Nxf3 Nxe4 3. Nxe4 Rxb2+ 4. Kc1 Rb1+ 5. Kxb1 Qb8+. White Resigned as mate on b2 can only be delayed, not prevented.
