I only had 40 seconds left but I don't know how to checkmate with Bishop and Knight even if I had the time

Smyslov, Vasily vs. Botvinnik, Mikhail-World Championship Match 1958
Mikhail Botvinnik just played 33...Rd7. Can you guess what the 6th World Champion Smyslov played in response?

34.Qxd7 Kxd7 35.Bxd5 Qxd5 (or cxd5) 36.Rxf6 Pretty good compensation for Queen, activates rook, and can probably take Black's f pawn with check. Am I close?

Nice! 34. Rde1 Rxb7 35. Bxd5+ Kd6 36. Bxa2 and then Bishop and pawn are available on the f file Discovered check and discovered attack

18...Bxc4+ and perpetual check with the knight. I don't see how black can do better but it seems like they should be able to.

Nice. Of course Fisher found a way to capitalize I didn't see how Black's pieces (R, N, B) could be protected by each other after taking the bishop on b6 and therefore not checking. Beautiful game

Tough one. Rd4, take the pawn next move and then chase down the king

@Akash Ramsahoye agreed Otherwise White can draw it out. This way, Black is up a piece
1-6 of 6
