Yochanan Afek3rd HM IRT, 1981
[Afek,Y] Saving this ending looks at first sight (and even at a second one) like an impossible mission. 1.g7+ Kh7 2.g6+ Kh6
All white pawns are under control. What else can he hope for?
3.a8Q! Rxa8 4.Kf7 Ra7+ 5.Kg8!! Rxg7+ [Or 5...Kxg6 6.Kh8]
6.Kh8! The miracle did happen! With a whole move at hand black is helpless against the upcoming stalemate
6...Ra7 7.g7! Rxg7 Stalemate!
1/2
