This week's Friday Chess puzzle is from Leipzig in 1903. It's Leonhardt playing Black against 'an amateur'.
One of the first things we learn as chess players is not to develop our queens too early. This game is a fine case in point:
1 e4 e5; 2 d4 ed; 3 Qxd4 Nc6; 4 Qe3 Nf6; 5 Bc4 Ne5; 6 Bb3 Bb4+; 7 c3 Bc5
reaching the position above. White cannot capture the bishop, so instead played 8 Qg3 and attacked the exposed knight on e5.
Can you see how Black forced an immediate win after 8 Qg3?
Answers to Chess Tales. I'll publish the solution next Wednesday.
