This week, we will be looking at a game from the Czech Championship 2005 between Petr Hába and Jiří Lechtýnský. In this position, White is clearly better—he is up the exchange for a pawn, and is maintaining immense pressure on Black’s position. Although there are many winning ideas, can you find the most precise continuation to win the game for Hába? (White to play)
