1.Rd2 Qc5 2.Be6+ wins.

Ano just posted half the line.
Getting the queen for bishop and rook seems not be enough for sure win being down two pawns but white can get that bishop, too.
1. Rd2, Qc5 (only square) 2. Be6+, Kxe6 3. Rxc5, Bxc5 4. Qc4+, Kd6 5. Rd3+, Bd4+ 6. c3! +-
Ano 2, how do you want to proceed after 1. Bd5, Ne7 ?
“Does White have any serious attack?”
Yes, but on her, not his, majesty. 1. Rd2+-
I still like 1.Bd5

And I ask you, again, how you proceed after Ne7.
I do not get it so please tell me if you see more than I do.
1. Bd5 Ne7 makes c5 unavailable for the black queen. So then 2. Rd2 wins the black queen with less compensation for black.
The queen gets the square f1 instead.
This could be a curious line:
1. Bd5, Ne7 2. Rd2, Qf1 3. Bc4, Qh1
Hmmm, the queen is out of play but is there any way to get her for white before she can be freed?
How should white proceed after 1. Bd5, Rab8 ?
1. Bd5 Ne7
2. Rd2 Qf1
3. Bc4 Qh1
4. Re3 (any)
5. Re1
and the black queen is toast for a rook
I have yet to find a counter for black, and Rab8 isnt a threat to this line of attack, either.
