OK, you've been "warmed up" for the toughie. Yes, the position is similar, but a good deal trickier. Good luck!


Solution:

1. Qc2 Bxa7 (1... Bxe3 2. Qe4 Bxe4 3. Bxe4#) 2. Qh7 Bxg2 3. Qxa7# The Qe4 idea pops up in the other variations as well. This was also by Andrade, and we hope you enjoyed this ladder of complication.
