Well, for some reason this puzzle is not working for me when I try it.
The moves are: 19. Qxf6+ Kxf6
20. Be5+ Kg5
21. Bg7
Petrosian To Win In 3 Moves
Sort:
Looks like black's king is stuck on the 5th rank, and with white's pawns and light squared bishop/knight can get a checkmate quickly.
Ludek Pachman was his opponent.
Correct as usual.
Petrosian. He had a reputation as a methodical positional player but here he won in only 21 moves.
Can you find the three moves that lead to
black's resignation?
Bonus 1: Can you explain why black resigned?
Bonus 2: Can you name Petrosian's opponent?
