Black to move. How should Black proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Was a nice tactic, however posted earlier today at 8:40 a.m. already. Nf4 still wins. 😉
What about
1. -, Nf4 2. gxf4 (forced), Rf6 [threating Rg6+ and Rh6 with quick mate each] 3. f3 (what else?), Bh4
Now the threat is 4. -, Rg6+ 5. Kh1, Qg2# and I see only two moves ‘preventing’ that.
4. Rf2 loses directly after Rg6+ 5. Kh1, Bf2 6. Qf1 (what else?), Rg1+ giving black too much material.
Better is 4. Kh1, Rh6 (Rg6? 5. Rg1!) 5. Rg1 (is there a better defense here?), Bg3! 6. Rg2, Bxh2 and black seems to win with the (inevitable?) threat of playing Bg3+ followed by mate.
Directly 1. -, Rf6 gives white time to play f4.
As usual I played without using a board so there may be big miscalculations it this analysis. Are there?
Best regards from Germany!

Modest – as usual 😉

Er, how does the bishop get to h4 with the black rook already on f6?
I didn’t think pieces could move through pieces…
I think the win after 1 … Nf4 2. gxf4 Rf6 3 f3, is 3 … Rg6+ 4 Kf2 (4 Kh1 Qg2#) Qh4+ 5 Ke3 Qxf4+ 6 Kf2 Bh4#.

Thanks Ed – flying pieces as suspected. Crap. 🙂
