BARDEN’S CHESS PROBLEMS

Augustin Madan vs Robin Haldane, Kent, Open, 2010

White was an international master, so his club amateur opponent decided to go for broke with an all-out attack on the white king. It succeeded beyond his best dreams as the IM’s defence proved shaky and White underestimated the danger to his h2 pawn. In the puzzle diagram, Black (to move) could strengthen his attack simply by Rg8, but Haldane looked closer and found a much, much better idea. How did Black win in style?
