Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

I’ve written before that if we ever re-named chess pieces, either rooks or bishops should be named “raptors.” These bishops come out of nowhere. You see one, then the other pops up and you’re dinner. How’s that for a hint?


Solution:

1...Qxf3+ 2.gxf3 Bh3+ 3.Kg1 [3.Kf2 Bh4+ 4.Kg1 Re1+ 5.Qf1 Rxf1#] 3...Re1+ 4.Kf2 Bh4# From a game Riemann-Anderssen.
