SPRAGGETT ON CHESS
The following position occurred after Black’s 16th move in a game played in the Barcelona International Chess Tournament (this week). White is the grandmaster Magem, and Black is the international master Oms.
Black’s last move (16…Rb8) was a serious error that allows White the opportunity to win the game with a fast and furious attack. Do you see it?
WHITE TO PLAY AND WIN!
