1. … dxc3 2. f3 (A. 2. bxc3 Qxc3#; B. 2. Qxa5 Bd2#) cxb2+ 3. Qxa5 bxa1Q+ 0-1
Good tactic.
1.exc3 f3
(1… QxQ Bd2#)
2.cxb2+ QxQ
3.bxR=Q+ Kf2
4.Be6 white has netted R & N.
1……..dxc3!! Finishes white! Threat 2….Bd2#!
A-2.Rd1.Bd2+!.3.Rxd2.cxd2#!
B-2.Qd5.Bd2+!.3.Qxd2.cxd2#!
C-2.Be2.cxb2+!.
C1-3.Kd1.Rc1#!.4.Rxc1.bxc1=R/Q#!
C2-3.Kf1.bxa1=R/Q+!.4.Qb1.R/Qxb1+!.5.Bd1.R/Qxd1#!
C3-3.Qxa5/Qb4.bxa1=R/Q+!.4.Bd1.R/Qxd1#!
D-2.f3/4.cxb2+!.3.Qxa5.bxa1=Q+! And black is a R and B up; even if he returns a B he will easily win with the extra R and a mating attack!
dxc3 because if the Queen captures the Queen, then Bd2#
What did I win? 😉
Bd2!!
1. … dc3x
2. Qa5x Bd2#
If 2. bc3x Qc3x is killing.
