Chess: Two good leaps


By Eric Morrow

The serval is an African cat. It lives in regions with tall grass. With its big ears it hears prey moving through the grass. The serval then snakes through the grass and leaps at its prey before seeing it. When it lands on its prey and sees it for the first time, this initial meeting is usually their last.

With this hint in mind please try to find how white mates in two.

Black has a decisive material advantage and threatens white’s knight and rook. Black’s king is also protected by a thicket of pawns and pieces.

White’s knight, like a serval, leaps without seeing its prey onto g6, checking black. Because black’s king lies hidden amid his pieces, like a rodent hiding in the grass, the black king does not have any flight squares. Black’s pawn at h7 must capture the leaping knight.
