Black to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

I love this position because it teaches the importance of alertness and simple calculation.


Solution:

In the game Mitkov-Azmaiparashvili, Moscow Olympiad 1994, Black won the White rook by paying attention to the vulnerability of the rook in terms of where it could move. 1...h6 2.b4 Kd6 3.Kd4 Rc8 4.c4 c5+ 5.bxc5+ bxc5+ and the deed is done!
