Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

Since both sides need to complete development, this is late opening, yet early middle game. In order for you to take credit for seeing all this, you should be able to see this attack for at least the first six moves!


1.Nxf7 Kxf7 2.Qg6+ Kg8 3.Nf5 exf5 4.Rxe7 Rh7 5.Bxh6 Nxh5 6.Qf7+ Kh8 7.Re8+ Rxe8 8.Qxe8+ Nf8 9.Qxf8# I found this one in Chess Opening Traps by Al Horowitz, but no game source is given. A very impressive attack, though!
