Black to move. How should Black proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
All I see is Qg6:
1. …..Qg6
2. Qg6 Re1
3. Kg2 hg6 and black is up a piece.
..Qg6 looks ok to me.
Qg6 Qxg6
Re1+ Kg2
hxg6
I quickly saw the problem for black. if he takes with the pawn he loses his queen.. if he takes with the rook he gets mated with Ra8. So finding a move to destruct the white opponent..
1. Qg6+ Qxg6
2. Rxe1+ Kg2
3. hxg6
The extra bishop should win the ending.
….. Ba4
Qb1 g6
QxQ Rxe1 and hg6
Qg6+ and PxQ. Black wins.
Qg6+ and PxQ
1 .. g5
Relieving the threat on the black king, and hence making the white queen vulnerable.
1…Qxg6+ should do the trick, either 2. Kf1/h1/h2 dxe4, or 2. Qxg6 Rxf1+ and …hxg6 clearing a square for the king off the back rank so that Ra8+ doesn’t mate.
Qg6+ wins the rook on e1 (or the Queen!)
Brit-Mate
Qg6 QxQ
RxR+ King moves
hxQ and the king has the h7case to escape from the mate
1… Qg6+
2. Qxg6 Rxe1+
3. K/any hxg6
if white declines 2. Qxg6 then the 2 dxe4
Qg6+ getting out the pin from the Rook and threatening to capture on e1 (in between move after the White Q captureds on g6.
1..Dg6 2.Dxg6 Txe1 -+
Everything is about to take everything else, and Black’s back rank is a death trap, but Black can solve everything with one stroke:
1. … Qg6+
2. Qxg6 Rxe1+
3. Kg2 hxg6
Let’s start a movement to make chess an Olympic sport, but in the winter Olympics as a duo sport: chess ice fishing. It’s like chess boxing, but the winner is the one who checkmates the opponent, or, in the case of a draw, catches the biggest fish. Gelfand’s hat would have to be disqualified.
Qg6+ seems strong.
does …Qg6+ work?
2 Qxg6 Rxe1+
3 K any hg6
4 Ra8+ Kh7
etc
2 K any de4
perhaps too good to be true
1……..Qg6 check, and if 2QxQ, then RXRch, picking up the queen on the next move.
1. Dg6 !
If the king moves black plays 2. dxe
If white plays D8g6 then first Te1+ and then h*g
1…Qg6+ 2.Qxg6 Rxe1+ 3.Kg2 hxg 0-1
1….qg6+!
2. qxg6 Rxe1+
Kg2 hxg6 and no more back rank threats
1… Qg6+
brm
de4, rh4 bf6
1.-Qg6+ ! unpins the d-pawn. If 2.Qg6: Re1:+ 3.Kg2/h2 hg6: – black is a piece up, and there is no backrank mate.
On 2.K anywhere simply 2.-de4:
Ba4
Ba4
Ba4
1. Qg6 looks interesting. Not really sure how white would effectively respond.
1…Qg6 wins on the spot, after 2.Qxg6 Rxe1 3.Kg2 hxg6.
Qg6+,
Qxg6, Rxe1+
Kg2, hxg6
this tactic wins a rook, and puts black up a bishop vs a pawn in the endgame while eliminating white’s checkmate threat.
Qg6+ wins
Qg6+ wins
Qg6 and it’s all over.
Qg6+ and black wins
1…Qg6+
2.Qxg6…Rxe1+
3.Kg2…hxg wins
Qg6+ looks strong
…Qg6+
if QxQ, then RxR+ and hxQ
if K moves, then d5xQ
qg6
1…Qg6+ 2. Q:g6 R:e1+ 3. Kg2 hg yields a decisive material advantage
