Chapter 1: Anastasia's Mate

I am reading How to Beat Your Dad at Chess by Murray Chandler. I am blogging to create supporting puzzles in studying the content.

The name Anastasia's Mate is derived from a novel, Anastasia und das Schachspiel by Wilhelm Heinse, published in 1803, which has an example.

The key components of this neat little trap are:

1. a white knight on the e7-square;
2. a black pawn on g 7; and
3. a black king on the h8-square.
