Can You Outsmart Legends?
This brilliant puzzle was given to top players at a 1987 tournament featuring legends like Kasparov, Karpov, and Tal. Only Mikhail Tal found the solution. Kasparov and Karpov weren't able to find the solution. Even Stockfish of chess.com can't find the solution.
Think you can crack it?
easy

line 1: we don't lead the way - as improvers, we aren't the best, but we are always improving
line 2: sharpen minds - improvers look to improve with every move
line 3: not perfect yet - we can still improve, and we strive to improve
line 4: see line 2
line 5: not the masters - we still have room to improve
line 6: chase the crown - we always aim to be our best
line 7: climbing skills tall curve - see line 2
line 8: with grit, grind, etc. - see 2, 3, 6.
thus, the answer is "improvers"

In a silent forest of 64 squares 🌲
A knight leaps thrice, ignoring the stares ♞
It smells a double attack, where danger glares 🍴
Two royals tremble in tactical snares 👑
The bishop hums on a diagonal trail 🎵
Clearing a path in a sacrifice tale 🔥
A queen lurks close behind the veil 👸
One wrong move and checks prevail ☠️
A rook stands proud on an open file 🚂
Pinning a piece in the deadliest style 📌
The king feels trapped all the while 🧱
Guess the tactic with a thoughtful smile 😏....
💬 Your move, mate....
