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.
The 24th puzzle by M. Liburkin, 1949, is another miniature, with only six pieces left on the board. Still the solution is quite unexpected, with white forcing a draw in a very original way. How does white force a draw? Good luck!
