N.N.–Karlin, Ored0–1Madrid1933GM Lubomir Kavalek/The Huffington Post
Jan Kalendovsky found this game published in the German daily "Tagesbote" in Brno on April 14, 1934. At that time, the Swedish master Ored Karlin took part in a small tournament in the Moravian city and told a story about his journey through Spain in 1933, where he played the game. 1...xb2! 2.xb2 c3 3.xb6!3.d3 c4+ 4.xb6 cxd3 5.c6 d2-+ 3...c4! Threatening 4...c2. 4.b4 a5! White resigned. We will probably never know who played or composed this combination and in what year. It remains one of the eternal chess puzzles. Could Karlin's story be the first published article about the famous combination, Kalendovsky wonders.Not 4...c2? 5.xc4! 4...a5! 5.xc45.b8 c2!-+ 5...cxb2 the b-pawn promotes. 0–1
What is the best promotional combination according to you?
