MetroWest CC - Ilya Krasik












(1) Ilic - Krasik
[Ilya Krasik]

Its amusing that in this problem black wants to actually lose the opposition. I calculated all variations to the end.

1...Ke3! 2.Kh3 Ke2 3.Kg2 h5!! 4.Kh3
[ 4.gxh5 g4 5.fxg4 ( 5.h6 gxf3+ 6.Kh3 f2 7.h7 f1Q+ the check is key here) 5...f3+ 6.Kg3 f2 7.h6 f1Q-+ ]

4...Kxf3 5.gxh5 g4+ 6.Kh4 g3
