In studying some lines of the Breyer variation of the Ruy Lopez I came across this game played earlier this year.
Here is the final position which is quite beautiful:
While Black can stop the pawn with 42…Bc7 White will then convert with 43.d6+ Bxd6 44.Nxd6 and there’s no way to stop White from queening.
These are the kinds of positions that keep me fascinated with the game of chess.
