Today's position comes from Graham Clayton's column, The Mad Aussie's Chess Trivia:

From the diagrammed position, White wins with 24.hxg6!!

"Immortal" Immortalized:  In October 1985 the Swedish postal authorities released a special 3-kroner stamp which featured the final mating position of the "Immortal" Correspondence Chess game between Arvid Sundin and Erik Andersson, played in the ICCF WT/M/974 tournament in 1964-65.  At the end of the game, Andersson has a queen and a rook more than Sundin, but is about to be mated by a rook and knight combination.  Here is the game, and the final position:

WT/M/974, 1964
