  Ignatieva-Zatulovskaya, Suchumi 1955


  In this position black is tremendously ahead in development.
  Furthermore white is missing his white squared bishop, leaving
  gaping holes around the king. This calls for direct action.
  The black bishops will cut through the white position as a knife
  in butter.


  Test: Black to move and the attacker goes for an immediate kill.
        The rest of the game further down.
