   It's White to move, and the task was to determine what trap Black has

   comments to that post, one reader managed to come pretty close to
   solving it, but couldn't quite get it. If you're in that boat too, and
   want to see how White finished the job in the game Keres-Mikenas,
   Soviet Team Championship (Riga) 1968, scratching your mental itch is
   [2]just a click away.
