This is a simple, but educational, puzzle, which may be especially useful if you are new to the study of pawn endgames.

Here is a mental exercise for you.
Play these opening moves in your head:
1. d4 c5
2. c3 e6
3. Nf3 Nf6
4. Bg5 cxd4
5. cxd4 Qb6
6. Qc1 Ne4
OK, what should White play now?
I’ll post the answer in the comments later today.

What is Black's best move?
Does it give Black a clear advantage, or can White keep the fight going?

This tactic is a variant of Anastasia’s Mate, an elegant checkmating pattern involving a rook and a knight. The mating pattern was included in the book Anastasia und das Schachspiel (Anastasia and the Game of Chess), written by Wilhelm Heinse and published in 1803.

Great puzzle! The first move was easy to find, but after one of White’s possible replies, it took me a while to understand how Black wins. What I think is the best line for White is surprising and elegant.
I’ll post the line I like in the replies.

White’s next moves led to Black’s resignation. What did White play?
