Black to move and win

[need a hint?]     [Solution]     [archive]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 








1...Bxg3+ 2.hxg3

No help is 2.Rf2 Bxf2+ 3.Kxf2 Qxh2+









Analysis Diagram: after 3...Qxh2+

4.Kf1 (4.Ke1 Qg1 mate) 4...Qg2+ 5.Ke1 Qg1 mate.

2...Qxg3+ 3.Rf2 Qg1+








White's move is forced, as was is last.  In fact, the rest of White's moves are all forced - Black has no options, and that's why this sequence is relatively easy to calculate.  As one of my early chess teachers always told me - always look at forcing moves, always!

4.Rf1 f2+ 5.Ke2 Qg4+ 6.Kd3 Qc4 checkmate
