Black to play. Abdusattorov-Praggnanandhaa, Prague Masters, March 2024. White has a rook for a knight. Which move allowed Black to turn the tables and gain a decisive advantage? Email answers to chess@spectator.co.uk by Monday 15 April. There is a prize of £20 for the first correct answer out of a hat. Please include a postal address and allow six weeks for prize delivery.

Last week’s solution 1 Rd7! Qxd7 2 Qxh5 gxh5 3 Bh7#. But 1 Qxh5? runs into a countershot: 1…Qxh2+ 2 Qxh2 Nxh2 3 Kxh2 Bxg5

Last week’s winner Michael Owen, Manchester
