Tactics (5)


This is a very nice combination produced by Jonathan Speelman in his game against Markus Stangl (Altensteig 1994). How did White win?

Solution (diff. 3/5):

1.Rxd7! Rxd7 2.exf6 Bxf6 3.Bxf6 gxf6 4.Rh4 Rf8 5.Qh8+ Kf7 6.Qh7+ Ke8 7.Qg6+ Kd8 8.Rb4 (this is the main point of the combination! The black queen is trapped because the square c2 is not available anymore) . Stangl answered with the "racheschach" 8.- Rd1+ and after 9.Kh2 he resigned.
