White to Play and Win

By Pete Tamburro

Here we have a game between grandmasters Ree and Ftacnik, played in Kiev in 1978. Frankly, a quick look makes one think that Black has the advantage as his king is placed very strongly; however, Ree spots a flaw in Black's position and takes advantage of it with a superbly played endgame. This is one of those times, dear readers, when you really should take out a chessboard because the solution is worth going through move by move!
