Women's Chess Brilliance



By popular demand I will regularly post brilliant chess moves by top women champions.

I will start with the first women's world champion, Vera Menchik.

The position you can see above is from the game Menchik - Vega, 1939.

White plays and wins. Please think about this position for awhile, then post the solution in the comments below.

Good luck!
