Black to move. How should black proceed?
(So vs Mamedyarov – Shamkir 2017)
e4
I see 1. …e4 almost instantly, though it is an obvious try I must admit. White clearly can’t take the f-pawn with the queen since 2. …Qxc4 is a quick mate, and black playing Qxc4 is a problem on any move white makes with his queen. I don’t really see a defense other than to give up the queen in some manner.
