There are many places where you can find simple tactical puzzles (for example Chess.com's Tactics Trainer or Daily Puzzle) or more complicated puzzles with highly unlikely positions, where the key move is a totally unexpected move. There are only few places however where you'll find puzzles which are complicated but yet simple. Puzzles with few pieces on the board, but with a very elegant solution. In the Magnificent Puzzles I'll try to entertain you with such puzzles.
Below is the 10th puzzle, composed by A. Stavritzky, in 1990. This time you don't have to come up with the stalemate trap, but you have to avoid it! It's white to play and win! Good luck!
