(From Chess Review)
In this game Ted Dunst, the mighty giant-killer who defeated Santasiere and Hanauer in the Marshall Club Championship, only to leave his queen en prise against another opponent, treats us to a real thriller involving a double sacrifice of the exchange.

Key: PxP! Cooks: KxB and NxB!%%
Solvers liked play in the intended solution. We'll have to admit we were too hasty in publishing.
Joe Youngs, the talented South high composer, continues his high standard of workmanship in the elegant 2er below. He gets a fine lot of difficult play into this creation including self-block, unpinning, double checks, cross check. I saw this 2er in unfinished form on tourney day and have been waiting for its submission. Joe has high regard for Newman Guttman's ability and desire his 2er dedication to him.
