Oscar Pollack – Harry Li (London Classic Open).
The immediate 28. Nxf8 Rxe8 29. Rxe8 loses to 29… Qc1+.
White won with the beautiful deflection 28. f4!, when Black can no longer control both d8 and c1. The game concluded 28… Qh4 and only now 29. Nxf8 Rxe8 30. Rxe8 and, faced with the loss of either his queen or his king, Black resigned.
