Reshevsky-Fine, Detroit 1933
Black might very well have thought himself okey in this position.
He has a pawn up, a very strong knight and the irritating threat
of pushing his middle farmer to e4. But something is there for white
if we just look through the windows. In fact the Gates are suddenly
wide open...;)
Test: White to move and get a crushing position. We don't want to see
moves like 1.Nd5, Ne2 or Kh1...
The rest of this fine game further down.
Reshevsky - Fine
Detroit, 1933
A pawn up, black's rooks are less influential than white's. However, his knight
is well placed and ...e4 is an annoying threat. With his next move, white
nullifies all black's trumps. 1.Rxf5! Nxf5 2.Rxf5 Qh6 (The exchange sacrifice
has completely transformed the situation. The imminent Nd5 leaves black without
resource.) 3.Qe4 Re7 4.Qg4+ Kf8 5.Rh5 Qg7 6.Qh4 Ke8 7.Nd5 f5 8.Nxe7 1-0
