Oldrich Duras v Rudolf Spielmann, Pistyan 1922.
Duras, a Czech government official, was among
the world top ten of his day, and the gifted but
inconsistent Spielmann was his favourite
opponent. Here Duras (White, to move) is a
pawn down, but what really matters is the
danger to both kings. White can't checkmate by
Rxe8 because the black queen pins the rook
against the white king. Duras then saw that 1
Qf4?? escaping the pin is met by Qxh6+ and
mate next move, while 1 Kh1?? suffers the same
fate. Duras found a way to win, and experts
were so impressed that he got the brilliancy
prize. What was White's winning move?
