Today's mental exercise:
It took White some time to spot a win in this position. White has sacrificed a knight for the attack; how should he continue?
Solution to the last puzzle:
Partos - Planin
Balkaniade, 1974
Plannic got the draw on his grandmaster reputation. After 1...Rxd4 White has a forced win by 2.Kxd4 a1(Q) 3.Rxa1 Nc2+ 4.Kc3 Nxa1 5.Kb2 Kg6 6.h4 Kh5 7.Kxa1 d4 8.Kb1 when White's king can catch the black pawn and then help his own pawns to queen.
