Friday’s chess puzzles
SPRAGGETT ON CHESS
Good morning Friday! Today’s composition is one of my favourites. White is a rook down but has a passed pawn that is dangerous and gives White some drawing chances. The problem is that the Black Rook and Bishop are two pieces that work exceptionally well together and queening that White pawn is going to be more difficult than White hopes.
Your mission, should you accept it, is to find the unique idea that will save White. Good luck!
