Move of the Day #49White to moveDifficulty: Beginner

Mate in 3 — A Classic King Attack

Objective: Task goal: deliver checkmate in the fewest possible moves. In this position, there is a mate in 3.

Position and task condition

Only a few pieces remain, but Black's king is heavily restricted by its own pieces. White's knight, rook and queen are ideally placed for an attack. Find the short forcing sequence that takes advantage of the king's lack of escape squares.

Classic mating pattern: Anastasia's mate
