White to Play
Published in Chess Puzzles
Yet another Evans Gambit played during its glory days—this time by two amateurs.
The diagrammed position is with White to play his 29th move. From C. Vianna-Sylvestre, Rio de Janeiro, 1900: 29.Rf6 Rhf8 30.Qf5+ Kg8 31.Rxf8+ Rxf8 32.Qxf8+ Kxf8 33.Re8# A rare form of the Arabian mate with knight and rook.
