4. Rb4 mate Yeah. Problems have come full circle - now moves like 1.Ba8! are more obvious, because it "looks like a good key".

Joined 09 Jun '07 Moves 1416 Boden's Mate, for those that know it... for those who don't, try and solve. (It is not forced). Black to move and -+
Joined 29 Apr '05 Moves 827 I think its difficult to see the material-gain-move if you dont know the mate idea. Still nice though 😉
