From the recently finished tournament in Lille, France. A long manoeuvring game that probably was coming down to its final minutes. Black has everything protected….glued together one might say! BUT who protects the Black King?
SOLUTION :
53.Nxd5! PxN (what else?) 54.Bxd5! KxB (otherwise Bxf7 etc winning huge amounts of material) 55.Qh1! and 56.d5 mate!
