Chess puzzle of the week - White to play and win shorts

Very beautiful win by the #personoftheday Sandro Mareco, who turns 34 today. He played against Hikaru Nakamura at the 2017 #prochess knock-outs.

Like over 10 million other Nigerian children, this boy can't afford to go to school.

But Omoyele Michael dreams of being a chess champ, inspired by the movie "Queen of Katwe," where a Ugandan girl escapes poverty through chess.

Why did Bobby Fischer finally go to Reykjavík on July 4, 1972? In "Endgame" (2011), Frank Brady sums it up: "Pride, money, and patriotism." After his call with Henry Kissinger, Fischer "saw himself not just as a chess player, but as a Cold War warrior in defense of his country."

The youngest GM in the world at the time, Judit Polgar, plays a chess simul against the Harlem chess team in New York, circa 1992.

I am not sure what the format was, but this was called "chessathon". Maybe GM Judit Polgar can share the details 🙂
