Perhaps you have not heard of the chess player Peter Dely. During his lifetime, Peter was certainly a force to be reckoned at the chessboard and was the Hungarian Champion in 1969. Peter Dely earned the IM title in 1982 and FIDE awarded him the honorary Grandmaster title in 1999.
I recently discovered a real-game mate in 6 by GM Peter Dely that is ideal to practice your visualization and calculation abilities. In the the position below it is white to move with the ability to force checkmate in six moves. Enjoy…
White to move and mate in 6 (Peter Dely vs Jan Hein Donner, Round 14 of the Maroczy Memorial played on 11/02/1961).
