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?
WHITE TO PLAY AND WIN!
Just 5 seconds to find the correct solution!
SOLUTION :
53.Nxd5! PxN (what else?) 54.Bxd5! KxB (otherwise Bxf7 etc winning huge amounts of material) 55.Qh1! and 56.d5 mate!
