Black to move. How should black proceed?
7r/3k4/1p4N1/8/3b1P2/1p6/1P2R3/5K2 b – – 0 1
Rh1+, Kg2, Rg1+ and wins the knight.
I assume the question is how does Black proceed?
“Black to move. How should White proceed?”
Presumably that’s a typo. Whose turn is it really?
1… Rh1+
2. Kg2 Rg1+
3. Kf3 Rxg6
R-H1
K-G2 R-G1
K-H2,H3,or F3 R-G6
This is a gimme, right?
1… Rh1
2. Kg2 Rg1
3. Kf3 Rg6
4. Rd2 Rd6 and everything is tied down, with a piece up and pawns still on the board.
bxg7 awesome
Black can win the white knight:
1. … Ra8+
2. Kb7 Rb8+
3. Ka7/a6/c6 Rxb3
and Black should win.
Hi Susan Polgar,
Well,this puzzle doesn’t throw much of complexity,if its taken as per the direction of the puzzle – that is “Black piece turn to move”.
Then the set of following moves for Black piece will lead to its win.
If Black piece moves are – Ra8+,Rf8,Ke3 – from thereon its child’s play for Black piece to win the game.

followed by queening on next move.
Hi Susan Polgar,
Well,I didn’t notice that the board for this chess puzzle is not aliened from viewers focus[ Where White piece is assumed to be from viewers side ] – so its the reason my earlier suggested moves in notation sounds irrelevant.
But I have a question here now – if the board is aliened from White then the last row should be at viewers side,in that case,the destination differs thereby strategy differs – won’t they ?
