Chess Puzzle of the Week (367): Solution

Another position from the forthcoming Chess Heroes: Puzzles Book 2.

Richard James – George Leyton Richmond Congress (Junior Section 1, I think) 1967.

The answer, as it appears in the book:

1… Nxe4 is the way to go, winning material in every variation and scoring 5 points. If you saw that either 2. Rde2 or 2. Rdd1 would be met by 2… Nd2+ you can add another 5 points. If you’d worked out 2. Bxe4 Rxd2 3. Bxb7+ Kb8 4. Rxe7 Rd1+ with a back rank mate there are 5 more points for you.
