Monday’s position came from the game between Raymond Kaufman and Keith Arkell, played at the recently concluded Wightlink International Masters tournament.

Keith sportingly posted his missed opportunity on the English Chess Forum.

Black can stay in the game by selecting the right method of giving up the knight.

You can see a couple of sample variations here. White has other tries but, with his clumsily placed rooks and Black’s strong a-pawn, a draw should always be the result. Click on any move for a pop-up window.
