Pete Tamburro on

A very exciting game took place at the Helsinki Olympiad back in 1952. Teschner as White had just played Nc2 against Gligoric. He figured that after Gligo moved his queen, he could get his own queen or king off the g-file threat of Rg8 and perhaps keep his pawn up. Gligo made one move in reply and Teschner resigned! What was that move?


1...Bh3!! 2.Qc1 [2.Nxd4 Rb1+ 3.Rf1 Rxf1#; 2.Qd2 Rb1+ 3.Ne1 Rg8+ 4.Kh1 Qxd2 5.Rxd2 Rxe1#]2...Rg8+ 3.Kh1 Qxf2 4.Qa1+ Rg7 5.Qd1 [5.Na3 Qxf3#; 5.Qe1 Qxf3#]5...Qg2#
