White to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

It initially looks like White will fight to draw this, but there’s a winning path here. A hint: If Black’s king were on b7, Black would win.


A clever composition by F.W. Andrew 1.a5+ Kb7 [1...Kxa5 2.Nc6+ Kb6 3.Nxa7 Kxa7 4.Ke5] 2.Nc6 Qa8 3.Kg7 and the only moves Black has are with the queen and the lady gets taken wherever she goes.
