This is based on a game between Simagin and Polugaevsky in 1961. The previous move by black was not made in the actual game (Nc4), for reasons that will become apparent pretty soon. To a moderately skillful player it would appear forking the white Queen and Bishop with Nc4 is a good idea, quite wrong.

The move made in the actual game by black instead of Nc4 was f6 (certainly the lesser evil!).
