White to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

This composition has what you might call a straight solution. Composed by J. Moller, it is quite an artistic conception. Do yourself a favor: if you can’t find the mate in three, don’t worry about it; however, do yourself a favor and play it out on a board. It’s worth it!


Solution:

How this composer figured out this concept is a wondrous mystery. 1.Ng3 Ne3 2.Qd3+ Nxd3 3.Nf3#
