Throwback Thursday: Kavalek dissects two queen sacrifices

The well-known grandmaster and author Lubomir Kavalek <a href="https://en.chessbase.com/post/lubomir-kavalek-1943-2021">passed away last year in January</a>. A prolific writer, he penned dozens of well-read chess columns, including one he shared on ChessBase over the years. Here we reproduce one from February 2017, in which Kavalek shows us a failed queen sacrifice by Jan Timman against him, and Caruana’s successful 19.Qxf6!! sac against Nakamura at the London Chess Classic.

When Wim Andriessen founded
Schaakbulletin in 1968 and shortly thereafter gave up his secure job at the college, many were quick to call him insane. Berry Withuis, a veteran of chess journalism, openly mocked him: "If you want to throw away your money in the Netherlands, you either waste it on women or create a chess magazine." After all, the local chess community was way too small to allow for a second publication to survive beside
Schakend Nederland, the official magazine of the local chess association.
And indeed,
Schaakbulletin never really made any profit. However, Andriessen's advertising in the magazine helped him to sell a considerable numbers of chess books, which he also published. He later advertised his newly established chess store and mail-order products, as well. In 1984,
