Masterpiece
Masterpiece is an original idea in chess characterized by its beauty and unexpectedness. In this position, white is bragging on his octopus knight sitting in the frontline of the enemy camp. Can you spot white’s next best move?
Spielmann- Lisitsyn (Moscow, 1935)
Solution: 1. Nf5! Kg8 (1. gxN 2.Qg5+ mate) 2. Qh6 Nh5 3. Qg7+ NxQ 5. Nh6+ mate. Truly, a masterpiece by Rudolf Spielmann.
