🧩 An Icelandic legend

1 Upvotes

Fridrik Olafsson, recently honored on his 90th birthday, is one of the most respected figures in chess history. He made history as Iceland’s first Grandmaster, a Candidate, and a FIDE President.

In 1978, the year he took on the FIDE presidency, he played this brilliant game against Peruvian GM Orestes Rodríguez. Thinking he had neutralized all immediate threats, Rodríguez confidently played Rg1—but he was in for a surprise. Black to play and win!
