Published in Chess Puzzles

This week is “Attack Like a Master” week. The key word again to remember in attacking a castled king is ACCESS. You must get access to the king.


If you didn’t get it, which is understandable, view it as a chess lesson, from Hartston-Richardson, Bhilwara, 1983: 1.Rxg7 (gives access to the rook to check) Kxg7 2.Rg1+ Kh7 [2...Kh8 3.Qxh6+] 3.Ng5+ Kh8 [3...hxg5 4.Qxg5 Ng4 5.Rxg4 Re8 6.Rh4#]4.Ne6 (gives access to h6 for the queen) Nh7 5.Qxh6 Rg8 6.Rg7 Rxg7 7.Qxg7#
