Sunday Funday? Nope - today's puzzle is difficult. Especially the first move. White has already sacrificed a piece, so the stakes are high. Can you work out how Judit Polgar, one of the greatest attacking players of all time, set up an unstoppable mating finish? Hint: the direct attempts might not work.....yet. Another piece needs to join the attack.
Played 1990, in Hoogovens B group • Polgar vs Damljanovic • Wijk aan Zee
