In the 1962 game Keres—Benko, Benko made a grave mistake 30...Bb8xg3??, and the following position was on the board (see below). Then, Keres also blundered, and Benko again made a mistake. Finally, Keres still won the game.
Can you win the position after 30...Bxg3??

If you are not a grandmaster, you may expect that if you do not move the pieces on the board and if you try to spend only 10 minutes on the solution, you will fail somewhere.
