Arthur Klinke (March 1, 1887 – July 23, 1942) was an important German chess composer. Beyond composing, Klinke shared his love for chess puzzles as the editor of the Arbeiter-Schachzeitung (workers’ chess newspaper) published in Chemnitz, and later became the chairman of the Chess Problems Association in Deutschen Arbeiter-Schachbund (German Workers’ Chess Association).
The last couple of evenings I have been working diligently to solve an Arthur Klinke composition from 1922. First published in Volkswille, the Mate in 4 below has a very enjoyable solution but is definitely quite challenging. In fact, I bet you can’t solve this chess puzzle!
White to move and mate in 4 (Arthur Klinke, 1922).
