Take off your hats folks, cause this is a real piece of art!
A stunning performance by a great player. If you can figure out
who handles the white pieces this way, you'll win a nice price -
"My 60 Memories" by Ossi Weiner, provided of course that some justice
is done in the old country ;) (Sorry, this was a little European joke
that slipped out of my mouth.) Back to the game - we have a knight ending
with 7 pawns each. If black's knight was on c6, his queenside majority
would be a menace. As things stand, white can engineer a dramatic central
breakthrough:
1.f5!! [If now 1.-gxf5 2.gxf5 exf5 3.Nf4 wins - and 1.-Nc6 2.Nf4!]
Black stops Nf4, but succumbs to a brilliant diversion.
1.-g5 2.Nb4 a5 3.c6! Kd6 4.fxe6! Nxc6 5.Nxc6 Kxc6 6.e4! with a winning
pawn ending. [6.-dxe4 7.d5+ etc.]
Test1: White is winning in a forced, sparking way. Too hard for the comps?
Test2: Who played white and composed this beauty? [Sorry, no price ;)
