This is regarding one of today's (June 29) tactic chess problems, where white forces the sac of a knight with a check! Then, forces the trade of a rook exchanged for a knight with another check. Finally, white forces an amazing mate. That's checkmate in three moves! This is the treasure of chess. This problem dates back to the ninth century! Originally, from al-Adli's chess book (840AD). Recently, I saw it in "The Immortal Game" by David Shenks. Thanks chess.com and chess history, and the great game of chess!
