        Hi Susan Polgar,

        Well,seems that Susan had turned so passionate with past chess puzzles.

        First,let me stop saying repeatedly that its a repeated post ( Though its true )- lol

        From next post onwards,If at all,I post at this puzzle page then it will be,set of moves for the given chess puzzle( If its not a repeated one and if others had not posted the correct combination or If I differ from others combination of chess moves for the given chess puzzle ).

        This may avoid,my wasteful words occupying this best puzzle web page.

        I am anxious to know others move for this chess puzzle.

        2. fg6 Kh8/g8
        3. Rd8 Nd8

        Dear BinayakRath

        your puzzle is a famous study from Nadareishvili!

        Source: Nadareishvili, 17th USSR over the board championship tourney, recommended…

        and cooked by Khvalchev in 1949!

        The solution is very, very long and is based on an indian (!) theme long ago exploited by Troitzky et alii

        I drop my mail here for all who have questions about chess studies:

        yogsothothneblodzin at hotmail dot com

        Fluent in french, english, capable in german. Don’t hesitate!
