Black to Play

Published in Chess Puzzles

This time it’s Black to play and implement a mating attack.


Solution:

If you impulsively went with 1...Rxh4, hoping for cooperation, then you missed 2.Qb8+ Kf7 3.Qxb7+ and White wins. In 1937, Slobodjan mated Miesowicz with 1...Qh1+ 2.Kxh1 Rxh4+ 3.Kg1 Rh1#
