Solution:
The game, Peter Clarke-Jan Jerolim, Amsterdam, 1954, started out with 1.e4 g6 2.d4 d6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.f4 Nd7 5.Nf3 e5 6.fxe5 dxe5 7.dxe5 Nxe5 8.Qxd8+ Kxd8 9.Bg5+ Ke8 10.Nd5 Nxf3+ 11.gxf3 Kd7 12.0–0–0 Kc6 (see diagram) and ended abruptly with 13.Bb5+ as after 13...Kxb5 14.Nxc7+ Kc6 15.Nxa8 b6 16.Rd8, it’s quite over. Congratulations to those, though, who found a more decisive 13.Nb4+ Kb6 14.Rd5 a6 15.Be3+ c5 16.Rxc5.
