This game contains one of the all-time great saves in the history of chess. You are Black and in deep trouble as you can see in the diagram. What’s your plan?
From Geller-Golombek Budapest, 1952 1...Nf6 2.Bxf6 Qxf6 3.Qxg8+ Kd7 4.Ne5+ Nxe5 5.Qxa8 Nf3+ 6.gxf3 Qxa1+ 7.Ke2 Qb2+ with a draw by perpetual check. The two players shared the brilliancy prize.
