Unknown versus Pillsbury, played in 1899. This classic mate is found in many instructional manuals. It highlights Pillsburys skills, and shows an interesting style of "x-ray" attack.

Thanks for the post.  I got that one in about 5 seconds.  I normally am not too good at puzzles.

If you have the hint for a mate its easy to see, getting into such a position is more

difficult!
