Can you Outsolve World Champions?
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1198830013.shtml


   Have a look [1]here. Edward Winter, chess historian par excellence,
   has compiled eight standard chess problems that challenged and even
   thwarted the efforts of Morphy, Steinitz and Capablanca to solve them.
   Of course, it's a bit of a "gotcha" enterprise: one can always find
   instances where great players have failed where lesser lights have
   succeeded, ignoring all the puzzles the greats have solved far faster
   than we did. Still, qualifications and all, it's nice to outdo the
   best every once in a while. Give it a try and see if you can earn some
   bragging rights.
