Magnificent Puzzles (12)

Submitted by Phobetor on Wed, 02/04/2009 at 12:06pm.

There are many places where you can find simple tactical puzzles (for example Chess.com's Tactics Trainer or Daily Puzzle) or more complicated puzzles with highly unlikely positions, where the key move is a totally unexpected move. There are only few places however where you'll find puzzles which are complicated but yet simple. Puzzles with few pieces on the board, but with a very elegant solution. In the Magnificent Puzzles I'll try to entertain you with such puzzles.

Today it's time for another "white-wins" puzzle. The position was composed by A. Kuznetsov in 1963, and it's white to play and win. Note that white is in check, and only one move wins! Good luck!
