    'The Queens Gambit’ and Najdorf.

    I could not think of where I had seen Beth Harmon before. Now I know.

    Also Najdorf wondering if his opponent is either a genius or an idiot.
    A handful of RHP games using the trick/trap Najdorf tried v Portisch.

    How do you find the RHP games with relevant examples? 🤔

    Hi Gratis-Pawn

    Good question and an idea for the next blog - how do I do it.
    It fairly easy with the right software, just have to know how to tweak it.

    Give me a test - what tactic/trick would you like to see (anyone?)

    🤔

    Both players are in position to apply a smothered mate with a knight but neither side sees it.

    If that is too hard...
    Then a position where both players can apply a smothered mate with a knight but obviously the player to move wins.

    Good luck 😉

    Hi Gratis-Pawn,

    That is an interesting one. Already I can recall a missed smothered mate
    the player took a perpetual instead. I used it on a blog ages ago.
    I'll see what else I can find.
