White to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

White’s rook is attacked and his piece up is balanced by Black’s extra pawns and both king positions being vulnerable.


1.Qf6!! Qxb1+ 1...Rd7 2.Ne6 Qg3 (2...Kh7 3.Nf8+ Kg8 4.Nxd7 Qxb1+ 5.Kh2 Qc1 6.Qf8+ Kh7 7.Nf6#) 3.Qf8+ Kh7 4.Ng5+ 2.Kh2 Qxb3 3.Qxd8+ Kg7 4.Qe7+ Kg8 5.Ne6 Qc3 6.Qf8+ Kh7 7.Ng5# I’m always entertained by the excellent teamwork of the queen and knight. One reason is that in a sense they are three pieces as the queen is a rook and bishop combined, so you have rook, bishop and knight…Quite a trio!
