Not because I am that good to see that but because I was going through that game in the same book two hours ago 😛

I was thinking about that but I couldn't see second and third move. A bit too advanced for my current combination level 🙁

Another one by Anderssen (1842):



White to move.

I think I got it. Should I post the solution here, or just PM you to see it it's correct and let other people try too?

I think your solution is correct.

Yeah, I've just set the position on a board. Really nice problem, much harder than the other. Took me a while to figure out the move order.

There can be only one move order; sideways lose immediately.
