- Solution: If you didn’t get it, then the best thing you can do is look at the solution and then play it through in your head from the diagram and keep doing it until you can go all the way through it: 1.Bh7+ Kh8 2.Nxf7+ Rxf7 3.Ng6+ Kxh7 4.Nf8+ Kg8 5.Qh7+ Kxf8 6.Qh8# It’s interesting how the king is blocked from escape by his jumbled up pieces. That’s usually a good clue that it’s time to attack.
