sure, i (2200) can well imagine missing that in a game. if you tell me white to
move and win, i will probably find it easily. but if somehow my tactical
instinct doesn't tell me i should look for something, i could miss this
combination - like lots of others... i have seen better players miss easier
combinations than this! doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen.
