Good eye Mr. TomTom. That move is absolutely devastating. Its so elegant and simple...without providing mate! What a test! - it belongs in a tactics manual.
Where is the resident writer Mr. Pawn? He should be writing this down. This is a perfect inclusion in his tactics book. I'll buy a copy.

Q
Yes, I spotted it instantly because I missed such a move against a rival of mine... I couldn't live it down for months. I had even considered playing the move but hadn't realized it would come with discovered check so I quickly discarded it! 😞

and my sights were already set on h7!
a proper understanding of the pawn structure would have revealed this discovered
check, instantly 😛
