Default Re: Chess Puzzles

Here's a very attractive mate from the match NN vs. Adolf Anderssen, 1872. NN is commonly thought to stand for "no name", but it's really an abbreviation of the Latin nomen nescio, literally "I do not know the name". NN in chess matches stands for an anonymous player, possibly an amateur. In the internet age, NN is frequently used to designate someone playing under a nickname.

From the position given below, it's Black to move and mate in four.




The FEN for the puzzle is:
7k/1p4p1/7p/3P1n2/4Q3/2P2P1b/PP3q1P/6RK

If you go to Chessup, you can paste it there to analyze it.
