It took me weeks to find out how to win if my opponent would have given the the longest possible resistance. Remember these were the days there were no chess programs. The beauty of the position is not to play 3.Rdd7 directly but 3.b3! making b2 an escape square for the white king to escape from the blacks checks. [Event ""] [Site "?"] [Date "1975.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Ed Schroder"] [Black "vd Valk"] [Result "1-0"] [WhiteElo "?"] [BlackElo "?"] [FEN "r5k1/6p1/p4p1p/2p2P1P/1pn1PNR1/6P1/qPP1Q3/2KR4 w - - 0 1"] 1. Rxg7+ Kh8 2. Qxc4 Qxc4 3. b3 Qc3 4. Rdd7 Qa1+ 5. Kd2 Qc3+ 6. Kd1 1-0 [d]r5k1/6p1/p4p1p/2p2P1P/1pn1PNR1/6P1/qPP1Q3/2KR4 w - - Of course Rebel plays it instantly with the right plan.
