Chessprint November 28, 2004 White to move & draw - Find the Solution
Solution
Perpetual Check
White's first move is fairly obvious: 1.Qc8+ Kh7 1...Kf7?? 2.Nxe5+.
Less obvious is the nice defensive sacrifice which follows: 2.Nf6+! Kg6
2...gxf6?? 3.Qd7+. 3.Qe8+! Kxf6 Black can no longer avoid
accepting the sacrifice: 3...Kf5 4.Qd7+; or 3...Kg5 4.Qxe5+ Kg6
5.Qxa1. 4.Qf8+ Ke6 4...Kg6? 5.Qd6+; and if 4...Kg5
5.Qxg7+ Kf5 6.Qf7+ Kg5 7.h4+ Kxh4 Now can you find the mate-in-seven?
Hint: 8.Kh2! 5.Qe8+ Kf6 5...Kd5? 6.Qd7+ 6.Qf8+
and now Black must acquiesce to the perpetual check. Read more about the basics of
Perpetual Check.
