U .Andersson - U. Kunsztowicz
W. German open Ch ( Dortmund) 1973
Here the Swedish virtuoso demonstrates his
fantastic technique with a subtle zwischenzug:
1 ~d8!
Black is hopelessly lost due to the mate threat.
In contrast, I Wixc7? at once would be premature
because of I ... \'Wxd3 2 \1Wxd6 \1Wxe4+ 3 @h2
