Well, today’s Kasparian concoction has the advantage that even if you don’t solve it you will feel good about yourself! Why is that? Because it is consciousness-expanding! No one ever walks away from a Kasparian study without having a profound, life-changing experience!
Kasparian was the man! The maestro himself in the flesh…Material is even, but White has a dangerous passed a-pawn. Black is close to a draw, and all he has to do is take the a-pawn off. But it is White’s move! Make it count. White to play and win. Good luck!
