Here´s one of the oldest games from my database: played by Napoleon I at St Helena. He certainly was a great player, not only because of this puzzle below. We´re only 13 moves playing, but black played a really passive 13...a5. White has now got a Mate in 5. Could you do that as well? (As always, the whole game could be watched by clicking Solution and then Move List, but try it yourself first!)
