White to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

A wild game from the 19th century+: Vaccaroni-Mazzoni, Rome, 1891. Black is threatening mate and trying to defend his king all at the same time. White has an answer: a mating attack!


1.Qg4+ Bxg4 2.Rxh6+ gxh6 3.Bf7# A stunning final position!
