Black to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

We’re continuing to follow our game with our second position. This is how the game went from move one: 1.d4 f5 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nc3 e6 4.Nf3 d5 5.e3 c6 6.Bd3 Bd6 7.0–0 0–0 8.Ne2 Nbd7 9.Ng5 Bxh2+ 10.Kh1 Ng4 11.f4 Qe8 12.g3 Qh5 13.Kg2. How do you continue your attack as Black?


Where an average player should have solved the first position, it might take an above average player to think of 13…Bg1 Can you see what’s coming after that?
