In the puzzle to the right. White got into trouble a couple moves ago, allowing the Black rook in to e2 (Also costing him a knight!). White has now added to his troubles with his last move, 1. Nf3. How does Black take this home for a win?   Black uses the knight to really take White to task, starting with 1...Ng3+. Although threatening Black's queen, White will not have enough time to try to take advantage.   White plays 2. Kh2, but Black continues to make him pay with 2...Nxf1+. Now a rook and a knight to the good, Black's target is now the head of the king!   The game continued 3. Kh1 Qf2!. The king is cornered and White gets desperate with 4. Bd2. Black steals his queen away next with 4...Ng3+. White's only response is 5. Qxg3 with Black responding with 5...Qxg3. The game finished 6. Bxd5 Qxg2#.
