White to move. How should White proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
1.e6 has to be good, removing the last bit of cover around the King after 1…fxe6, 2.Bxe6. But now have to go! Phil
First all my efforts were going towards punishing that king in the center. I spent some time analyzing 1.e6 fxe6 2.Re1. Then I changed to 2.Bxe6. And only then I realized that I guessed the first move by accident, as the idea is different
1.e6 fxe6
2.Qe5
Both rooks are unprotected, so white should win
1. e6-f:e6 2. Qe5
1. e6 and if black takes rook to e1 looks quite devastating.
i think, e6 should be the move. i suggest the following continuation:
1. … fxe6
2. Bxe6 Qc7
3. Re1 Bd6
that´s all i can do for now, as there are plenty of possibilities on every move, but the open king on the two open lines for the white rooks sure looks very vulnerable.
