Desperation and Magnificent Conception
This is how GM James Plaskett described Black’s defence in the game that follows. When I saw the diagrammed position, my first instinct was to push c6-c5 and then after White takes with the Knight (b-pawn is pinned against Qc4) to rush with the Queen towards White King. But there is no good follow-up after Kh2 when Qc5 is also protecting f2-pawn. Pretty soon I gave up and looked forward to see the solution. It left me stunned.
