I apologize for not sending last week’s puzzles in proper format. Arcamax will post the correct versions in the archive so you can enjoy the last week of great rook moves. Today’s position is from Ed Celorio-Steve Tennant, Coral Gables, 1967. Celorio finished this game in fine style.


Solution:

1.Qxh7+ Kxh7 2.Bf5+ exf5 3.Rh3+ Kg8 4.Rg1#
