White to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

There are two ways to encourage Black to resign with either move. Find both!


Solution:

If you took the rook, you missed g6! 1.Qxh7+ Qxh7 2.Ra8+ Nd8 3.Rxd8+ Re8 4.Rxe8+ Rf8 5.Rexf8+ Qg8 6.Rh3# In the game Chekover-Ragosin, 1936, White actually played 1.Ra8, which works equally well, and Black did resign.
