Today, we remember International Master Geza Nagy, born in Satoraljaujhely, Hungary, on December 29, 1892.
Nagy was the Hungarian champion in 1924 and won two Olympiads with his country: in 1927 as the second board, with Geza Maroczy on first, and in 1928 leading his team.
In his career, Nagy defeated important players, such as Rubinstein, Reti, Stoltz, and Kostic.
Today's puzzle is a bit different than usual.
