Play chess like Botvinnik: Can you spot the magic move?

Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2011


Hello everyone,


Thursday is upon us. Another reason to try a chess puzzle. But August 17 is also the 100th birth anniversary of the sixth world chess champion Mikhail Botvinnik. Here is a nice puzzle with White to find the magic move to win. Can you?


Botvinnik vs Khrisogon Kholodkevich, Moscow, 1927
