White to move and win.

Hint: This is one of Kasparov's greatest sacrifices and games; surprising this puzzle wouldn't be on the site. 😕

No offence, but there's no way you found this yourself and it's a bit pathetic to blurt out the solution like that.

This game is probably Kasparov's most famous and, unlike most other Champions best games, it was against another of the top players in the world.

Ivanhoe was understating this site. It not only contains puzzles by Kasparov. Here's what else it has. Chess Puzzles by
Top 20 Chessplayers in the World; Top 10 Women Chessplayers; Top Juniors and Girls;
Candidates Matches for the World Chess Championship 2007; Overlooked Mates
World Chess Champions; Women World Chess Champions.

From Jude Acers to Zukertort, here's a way to sharpen up your tactics, using world famous grandmasters. If that wasn't enough, it also breaks down tactical shots by opening so that you can practice in your own back yard. Also, by year and country.

You can find it at: http://www.wtharvey.com/index.html

thanks, Ivanhoe for the swell lead...
