WTM



White to move and win. This is from a Duras game . Bronstein in his book the modern chess self-tutor pointed out that Duras missed a tactic in this position although he went on to win .

    Tempo,
    That was played and won eventually but not what Bronstein had in mind for a mating net.

    Yes CL! Certainly Duras' plan was based on a geometric motive, but he missed a really beautiful combination (D. Bronstein) 25. Rg7 Rxg7 26. BXf6 Qf7 27. Rg1 Rg8 28. Rg4 Bc8 29. Qxh7+ Kxh7 30. Rh4# !
