Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

This is a “might have been” position from a brilliant win by Nakamura over So in 2015. It was a game rich in possibilities and variations. Hint: the first move is not a check nor a capture!


Solution:

1...Rf2 2.Bxf2 Qxf2 3.Nxf2 Nf4+ 4.Kh4 Bg5# Nice catch by the Chess Evolution group.
