L.A. Times Problem No. 496 “The Chess Review” by Edward Haeniges. White mates in three.
FEN 7K/2Np4/p2k2p1/8/5PP1/2Q5/B6n/8 w - - 0 1
Key: B-N8/Bg8
1. B-N8, any; 2. N-Q5, any; 3. Q-B7 mate.
In this problem, the queen sacrifice in the first variant, resulting in a beautiful pure mate, is not easily seen. Consequently, the key-move is also hard to find, especially in view of the tempting try, N-Q5, which is defeated by NxP! This solution was submitted by M. Rudholm.
