Published in Chess Puzzles

OK, suitable for a weekend puzzle, this is a long sequence with a central theme of attacking along the diagonal from a2-g8. See if you can work it out all the way to mate at the end.


Jack Peters knocked off GM William Lombardy with this attack at Lone Pine in 1977 1.Nd6+ Nd5 2.Rxd5 cxd5 3.Qxd5+ Be6 4.Rxe6 Nxe6 5.Qxe6+ Kh8 6.Qg8+ Rxg8 7.Nf7#
