Rd3
Rd3, – rd2, Qg2 or Qh2#
1.Rd3, if rook moves then.2.Rd2
True. It is
1….Rd3
2.Re1 Rd2
3.Ne2 (unsuccessful attempt to block R’s line) Rxe2 and wins.
R d3
The untouchability of R looks most elegant in 1… Rd3 2. Qa4 Rd2!
In other words, the position is the checkmate in 4 moves (or is it? :-)))
After 1…. Rd3 2.Qa4 Rd2 laughable is 3.Qc2 :-))
if 1… Rd3 2.Ne2 is 2… Rd2 feasible? or
2…. Rxd1+ 3.Ng1 will you play 3…. Rd2? :-))
1… Rd3 2. Ne2 Rxd1 3. Ng1 Qf1! is still mate in 4: 4. Qc5 Qxf3#
You are right. I was joking ….. Rd2 comes so often in the analysis that one is likely to play it absentmindedly.
