It’s the famous “Steinitz Gambit” by Sam Loyd.
1.Ke2!! followed by 2.Ke3 and mate in the next move.
I didn’t get it…
1. Ke2, Nc1+; 2. Ke3, f1=Q+;3. ?
if 2. king to row 1 f8=Q+ ?
re anon: Bxf1# should do the trick.
This study is too famous of course, but it can be instructive for beginners i guess..
But i dont like positions were pieces are seemingly randomly placed–its too hard on my eyes.
1. Ke2 f1 = Q
2. Ke3 Qe1+
and then? Where is checkmate in 3?
3. Be2#
