White to move. How should white proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
1.Bxf5..any 2.Rxg7 wins the Black Rook.
No relation to Roger Federer.
1. Rxg7+ Rxg7
2. Bxe6+ Kh8
3. Rxg7 Kxg7
4. Qe7+ Kh8
( 4…… Kg6 5.Bf7 loses queen)
And now is the best move!
Inspite of being a full rook down, white has a resource here, thanks to the fact that black is stuck in zugzwang.
5. Ne5!
1-0
White is threatening Nf7 – Ng5 – Qh7 mate. Black cannot exchange the knight with Nxe5 as then white has Qf8 – Qg8 mate.
1. Rxg7+ Rxg7
2. Bxe6+ Kh8 or Kh7
3. Rxg7 Kxg7
4. Qe7+ Kh8
5. Qd8+ Kh7
6. Bg8+ (a) Kh8
7. Bf7+ and the Q is lost
6. … (b) Kh6
7. Qe8+ and the Q is lost
6. … (c) Kg7
7. It’s getting late, and I don’t have this line.
1.Rxg7+ Rxg7 2.Bxe6+ Kh8 3.Rxg7 Kxg7
4.Qe7+ Kh8 5.Ne5 and mate or the Queen goes
1.Rxg7+ Rxg7 2.Bxe6+ Kh8 3.Rxg7 Qe8 4.Rg8+ Qxg8 5.Bxg8 Kxg8 6.exf4 Kf7
Rg7+
