An oldie but goodie! Helsinki, 1961. Position after White’s 35th move (35.Kh1). The young grandmaster has been outplayed and finds himself on the defensive, literally cornered. Black’s pressure on the g-file is palpable, and there are a number of lines for Black to win a pawn…BUT Black deserves more than a pawn here!
BLACK TO PLAY AND WIN!
