Fischer-Steinmeyer, Black to Move



Bobby Fischer was one of the best players of all time. In the game Fischer-Steinmeyer, it was originally thought that Fischer, playing white, would trap Steinmeyer's (Black's) queen. However, Hiarcs 8 found the nice interposing move Bd6, which prevents white from trapping the queen! Nevertheless, the secret is to decide between Rxg3 (greedily taking the queen) and dxe5, avoiding taking the queen and winning the game as white! Watch the combination in action here!
