Black to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

This was from the game Oliff-Keogh in the Irish Championship in 1964. Black played 1…Qg3+ and after 2.Kh1, took the perpetual. Was that all he had?


Black had a win with 1...Qg3+ 2.Kh1 [2.fxg3 Rxf1+ 3.Kh2 R8f2+ 4.Kh3 Rh1#] 2...e3 3.f3 [3.Qxf4 Qxf4 4.f3 Qxc4 5.Re1 h5 6.Ra3 Re8 7.Kg2 e2 8.Ba4 Qb4 9.Raa1 Ra8] 3...Qh3+ 4.Kg1 Rxg4+ 5.fxg4 Rxf1#
