Source game

Probably derived from Abrahams - Winter, 1946, with Kh2 Qxa2 added in

Then the date on the Polgar puzzle is wrong? How can a 1944 puzzle be based on a 1946 game?

Laszlo Polgar was born in 1946, so the date is wrong for sure

I like this puzzle. The sacrifice looks odd, but it works!

No queen sacrifices today.

Only bishop ones,I agree with comments nice puzzle.

First move - brilliant

I like the not-so-obvious first move!

Odd how some of these only take me about 2 seconds to see.

What other move isn't obviously a waste of time?

It is from andere esthetical point of view...

... a pity that the engine doesn't always play Rxf8

I liked this one

As noted by others, a sacrifice other than a queen sacrifice ... nice to see.

Feel Good Puzzle

Let me think for a moment that my mind is as sharp as a razor. Unfortunately, last evening, in a real game situation, I missed a move to gain material. The trick is knowing when to spend more of that precious time having a longer think.
