Published in Chess Puzzles

Every chess coach shows the young chess student this mating pattern. There is a reason for us showing it to you today because of what we will show you on Wednesday. So, remember the pattern!


Solution:

1.Ne7+ Kh8 2.Qxh7+ Kxh7 3.Rh1# The question is whether you will remember the pattern in a more complicated position. See you Wednesday!
