Your judgement, please
6/5/2009 – In our weekly column, Oliver Reeh presents a simple chess problem in our CBM Blog. In the diagram left – White to move after 24...Qd6 – which of the following evaluations of the position is correct? A) Black wins, since he conquers the pinned knight;
B) White has a sacrificial continuation which, however, only secures him a draw;
C) White actually wins. You will find the solution in this
annotated game Degraeve-Belezky. You can think about the problem by studying a
lager version of the diagram.
