White to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

Puzzles with knights can be, well, puzzling. If it were black’s move, Black would win with 1...Qc4+, so White has his work cut out for him.


This study was composed by Rinck. It is a knight-mare for the queen. 1.Ne6+ Kc4 1...Ke4 2.Nfg5+ Kd5 3.Nxc7+; 1...Kd5 2.Nxc7+ 2.Nxc7 Qb6 2...Qxb4 3.Ne5+ Kc5 (3...Kd4 4.c3+) 4.Na6+; 2...Qb8 3.Ne5+ Kd4 4.Nc6+ 3.d3+ Kd4 4.Nd8 Qxb4 5.Nde6+ Ke3 6.Nd5+
