Black to play. This position is a variation from Bogolyubov-Alekhine, Germany (Game 8) 1929. Here 1 … Nxf1 is not bad but Black actually has something much stronger. Can you see what it is? Answers to me at The Spectator by Tuesday 4 June or via email to victoria@spectator.co.uk or by fax on 020 7681 3773. The winner will be the first correct answer out of a hat, and each week I shall be offering a prize of £20. Please include a postal address and allow six weeks for prize delivery.
