Chess puzzle: Can you find the magic move?

Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2011


Hi everyone,


Time for a Friday chess puzzle to go with the evening coffee. Why not phone up a friend for a chess game tonight? Have fun and let us know all about it. A very simple puzzle. It's white to play and checkmate in two. Can you spot the magic move?


Of course White is material up but the idea is to checkmate in two!

    That's a tricky one. But I thing simple if you know the motif. Hey Chess Queen have a great weekend.
