In our review of ChessBase Magazine #159 we set a little challenge for our readers. It appears that many have missed it.

In the following position Jan Timman, veteran GM missed a beautiful combination that would have crowned his play (he won the game anyway).

He did find the combination thereafter and published it to the delight of chess fans.

What is it?

its your move 11

    Dear Chessbibliophile,
    I think that after
    1…Rxf6!
    2.Rxf6-Qe7
    3.Qxe7+-Kxe7
    4.Rf1-Bf5!
    I think that’s correct! 🙂
