Then you must know the name given to the final manoeuvre.

Philidor's legacy?

Here's a fine example from Galaxyshield himself,I resigned but the mate mechanism is the same as Bowmann's example.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... if you want to do one of the problems posted, make your browser window small so can you can only see the original post. Then do the puzzle yourself.

Reading beyond the OP is just a sign that you don't want to actually do the puzzle.

Are you trying to say that this "lesson" isn't a tactics puzzle?
