Black to Move and Win - Find the Solution

This week's position comes from the
New York Masters Game of the Week!

Akobian,V  - Ehlvest,J

24...Qxb2 25.Qd2 White's best is probably the embarrassing looking move 25.Kf1 although Black is still winning.  25...Qxc1+  Even stronger was 25...Rxc2 26.Qxc2 Qxc2 27.Nxc2 Nxc1 28.Be4.  Resigns, else... 26.Qxc1 Nxc1 27.Rxc8 Rxc8 28.Bb7.  Another way to lose could be 26.Rxc1 Rxc1+ 27.Qxc1 Nxc1 28.Bc4.

Last week's position was a bit of a mystery, as I had two different sources each giving the same players but reversing the color assignments.  John Caliguire, Licurgo Holzmann, and chess authority Ken Whyld all wrote in to report that the correct color assignment was Bogoljubow-Monticelli, making Monticelli the victor.  Ken adds that this game was the brilliancy prize winner at San Remo 1930.  Thanks to all of you for providing this information!  [Ed. - this Chessprint was originally posted in the 11 May 2003 issue of The Chessville Weekly.]
