Great Puzzle

Several mates, only one in three & that one, starts with a dramatic sac. Fun!

Really beautiful

Easy to see the solution (here of course not in a match) but beautiful anyway.

A sacrifice to pin the queen and get rid of the stronger piece protecting the king and a 2nd sacrifice with the check of the knight to force the opening of the deadly rook column.

I want to play like this when I grow up!

I enjoyed this puzzle a lot. I wish I got this type of position OTB.

Nice puzzle requiring the courage of sacrifice, that being said it was obvious and easy to solve

Why not after Ng3+ Qxg3. am I missing something?

I would attribute this to Alexander Zaitsev vs Yakov Rokhlin, Yaroslavl, 1954. Check out www.youtube.com
