Black to move and win. What is the best continuation for Black?
Source: ChessToday.net
1. Rxg2+ Kxg2
2. Bh3+ Kh1/Kh2 (or Kg1 3. Qg3+ Kh1 4. Qg2#)
3. Bg4+ Kg1/Kg2
4. Qg3+ Kf1/Kh1
5. Bh3#/Bxf3# mate
Correcting my own anonymous post from 5 min ago:
1. Rg2+ Kxg2
2. Bh3+ Kh1/Kh2
3. Bg4+ Kg1/Kg2
4. Qg3+ Kf1
5. Qxf3+ Kg1
6. Qg3+ Kf1
7. Bh3+ Ke2
8. Qe3#
Without analysing…..r#g2 feels correct.
Black has no time to waste- white will protect g2 with the next move!
1. …..Rg2
2. Kg2 Bh3
3. Kh1 Bg4
4. Kg1 Qg3
5. Kf1 Qf3
6. Kg1 Qg3
7. Kf1 Bh3
8. Ke2 Qe3#
rxg2
h
Rxg2+
Easy. 1…Bh3 0-1
1…Rxg2
1…Rxg2
1. …Rxg2+
1… Rxg2
2. Kxg2 (or else Qf2#) Bh3+
3. Kg1 Qg3+
4. Kh1 Qg2#
If
3. Kh1 Bg4+
4. Kg2 (or Kg1) Qg3+
5. Kf1 (Kh1 mate on Qg2#) Bh3+
6. Mate on g2
I’m thinking 1. …Rxg2+ 2.Kxg2 Bh3+ 3. Kh1 Bg4+ 4. Kg2 Qg3+ 5. Kf1 Bxf3 … What’s wrong with this?
….Rxg2+
Kxg2, Bh3+
and black wins
1…Rxg2 2.Kxg2 Bh3 3.Kh1 Bg4 4.Kg1 Qg3 5.Kf1 Qxf3 6.Kg1 Qg3 7.Kf1 Bh3 8.Ke2 Qe3 0-1
1… Rg2+ 2.Kg2 – Bh3+ 3.Kh1 – Bg4 4.Kg1 – Qg3+ 5.Kf1 – Qf3+ 6.Kg1 – Qg3+ 7.Kf1 – Bh3+ 8.Ke2 – Qe3++
Rxg2+ wins
Brit-mate
1. Rxg2+ Kxg2
2. Bh3+ Kg1 (Kh2 3. Qg3+ Kh1 Qg2++)
3. Qg3+ Kh1
4. Qg2++
Bh3 is answered by Rc2 or Rd2. This doesn’t win.
Tommy K. says
1…….Rxg2+
2.Kxg2 (if Kf1 Qf2#)
……Bh3+
3.Kh1 (if Kg1 or h2; Qg3+
4.Kh1 Qg2#)
(if Kf3;Qg3+; 4.Ke2 Qe3#)
3…….Bg4+
4.Kg1/2 Qg3+
5.Kh1 Bf3#
or
5.Kf1 Bh3+
6.Ke2 Qe3#
