In this, our seventh week of chess summer school, we are repeating the theme from last week: training your mind to think more than two moves ahead. We’ve made it easier by making every move a check. You should have fun with this one.
- Solution: Actually, this attack along the h-file is very common, so it’s handy to know the idea here: 1.Qxh7+ Kxh7 2.hxg6+ Kxg6 3.Rh6# In order to get this, you had to see ahead of time that the knight was pinned by the bishop in the final position.
