Two stars for difficulty, three stars for beauty.

So difficult that it solves itself...
Meaning there are limited checking options, and black has so much attacking power you know it's you're only option.

unbelievable
i agree with jrums14. on the other hand, i'm sure that if i was in this position in a real game, i would resign without thinking. no wonder the book is called "100 desperate positions"! if anyone knows where i can get it online, please let me know!

Loved it. You're right, not the hardest thing ever but that was nearly as beautiful as it gets.

According with www.yacpdb.org, only the author(Philip Stamma) is correct. Both publications and years are different.
