His collection of Staunton (assuming he owns all those listed) is amazing. That certainly is a fine collection that guy has.

I took the position from a game in Chernev's <em>Logical Chess Move By Move</em>. What a great move! White is winning, but to <em>win</em> either the f-pawn or the knight have got to go. Re6 addresses both in one move!</p> <p><a href="http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1242964" rel="external" rel="nofollow">http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1242964</a></p> Me neither.

Nd6 fxd6 2. Qxg6+ Kh8 ....and then either Re5 or g4 then g5 neither of those ideas seem fast enough though. ok i’m thinking 1. Nd6 fxd6 2. Qxg6+ Kh8 ….and then either Re5 or g4 then g5
