White to play. This is a variation from Mirkovic-Gluzman, Belgrade 1991. Which move allows White to gain a decisive material advantage? Email answers to chess@spectator.co.uk by Monday 29 July.

Last week’s solution 1…Bd4+ 2 Kxd4 d2 and the pawn can’t be stopped, because the Nd5 is pinned.

Last week’s winner Rodney Beddows, Torquay
