Nov-25-07 Hort vs W Hartston, 1976 
|
krusheto: Well I guessed 24.Ne6 dxe6 25.Ng5, but I didn't see black's response to it nor any forcing line that white might have under it's sleeve. I'm giving up on insane puzzles lol. |

|
krusheto: I would actually imagine that used the queen to check and the bishop to mate because he didn't want to make the other player sad for losing his queen for a bishop. Not that it matters anyway since he's mate the next turn but if it's a friend of Morphy's and he doesn't want to hurt ... |

|
krusheto: <xKinGKooLx> Meister = Master? Maybe, who knows? Plus in Bulgarian master is pronounced Maister or Maistor. |
