    I had no time to take a long look – but on the first look Ba6 seems to win an exchange.

    Greetings and good night (it’s short after midnight here in Germany),

    Alright everyone, let’s try it again, and no computers.

    1. Ba6 is the obvious first try, but…

    1. Ba6 Rxb1!?
    This is the line I can’t get my head around. Any thoughts?

    OK, I’m just dumb. The Queen is still on f1 in this like to retake on c1, so everything is good in this line too.

    Ba6 it is!
