Vladimir Borzov versus Bettina Luescher

Milan 1951.

*************

White has a two pawn lead but is looking a bit static. Can you see what black did to shake up the action?

************************

Solution: Miss Luescher absent mindedly unbuttoned the top two buttons on her blouse. Borzov became strangely restless and was unable to concentrate properly. Miss Luescher unbuttoned a third button. Borzov began to sweat profusely. Miss Luescher eventually won the game by playing some chess moves that no one was really interested in.
