Default Re: Chess Puzzles

Here's a two-fer, because I just came across this startling blunder.

In the 1981 Uzbekistan Championship, White (Dekhanov) resigned to Black (K. Yusupov) in a won position after Yusupov played Qa6. Dekhanov thought that the risk of Qf1+ meant an exchange of queens would be forced, leading to a loss in about another thirty moves.

However, he missed a forced mate in four, from the board position given below.




The FEN for this puzzle is:
8/pp6/q5pp/1Q2Np1k/5P2/P5PK/1Pr4P/8

If you paste it into Chessup, you can work through the problem there.
