BEFORE THE MOVE
How would you coordinate rook and bishop against the black king?
Carlos Torre faces Emanuel Lasker, world champion from 1894 to 1921. The white bishop on g5 stands between the two queens: moving it would expose the queen on h5. You have White on move 25.
WHAT HAPPENED
25. Bf6 places the bishop behind the rook’s coming entry on g7. Lasker captures the queen; Torre begins a series of rook and discovered checks. Each return to g7 makes another capture with check possible. The game continues; follow the complete score in the archive.
