White to Play

Published in Chess Puzzles

Holiday Chess School #10! I played this yesterday and thought I’d throw it in. I had spent two minutes getting to this position and had eight minutes left. What did I do? You have eight minutes!


1.f6 Bxd4 2.Qh6 Bxf2+ 3.Kh1 Black Resigned as mate can’t be stopped. If I took the bishop, Black would win with the queen check and then Qf8.

Viktor Korchnoi was famous for his counter-attacks; however, he could attack brilliantly as well. This is a game from the 50s against Zakharov.

I reached this position in a five-minute game. I had about two minutes left, so now so do you. Well, OK, you can have 5 minutes!
