This Friday's Chess puzzle was a miniature in which Black delivered the final blow after just 8 moves.
It was Leonhardt playing Black against 'an amateur', and I asked you to find the winning move after
1 e4 e5; 2 d4 ed; 3 Qxd4 Nc6; 4 Qe3 Nf6; 5 Bc4 Ne5; 6 Bb3 Bb4+; 7 c3 Bc5 (see diagram); 8 Qg3?
Congratulations to Ryan Emmett, Paul Dargan, Chris Wardle, all of whom spotted the winner:
8 ... Bxf2+!!
and whether White recaptures with king or queen, there is a knight fork (e4 or d3) winning the queen to follow.
