L.A. Times Problem No. 477 “The Chess Review” By A. J. Fink. White mates in two.
FEN 8/rbp3KN/1b2PRp1/p6p/Rq4kp/3B3p/2Q1PP1r/1n1N4 w - - 0 1
Key: QxP/Qxc7
Threat 2. RxP mate. A very beautiful and clever example of “Mutual Interference” between Queen and Bishops. The respective pins of Queen and Rook increase the interest and quality of the composition.
A minor triple duel occurs when the Queen defends the threat at 1. … KB5; either the R or QxQ mate. But as it does not occur in the main play it can and should be overlooked. A true “Finckian” accomplishment.
