Wow. I had no idea that these brilliant musicians also enjoyed the game of chess!
ResponderExcluir1. Rh8+!! is the winning move. A Rook sacrifice, very nice, mr. Prokofiev!
Well done, this is the key move, that Sergei Prokofiev found. :)
ExcluirA curious fact about Sergei Prokofiev: he died in the same exact day as Josef Vissarionovitch Stalin, the inglorious Russian dictator: 5th March 1953.
ExcluirI guess he didn't suffer as much as Stalin, who was poisoned to die in huge pain.
