Black to move. How should Black proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Nc4 with idea of Nxg3 and Qh6+ is winning…
If 1…Nc4; 2. Qf2 protecting g3 might just hold, though Black still has a good position.
Correct move order would be:
1. Bxd1 Nxd1
2. Nxg3 hxg3
3. Nc4
and then 4. Qh6
“Nc4 with idea of Nxg3 and Qh6+ is winning…”
That’s only if white takes on c4 isn’t it?
1. -, Nc4 is right, I think, but there are several things to calculate.
2. Nxc4, Nxg3+ 3. hxg3, Qh6+ 4. Bh3, Qxh3+ 5. Qh2, Qxf1+ 0:1
But there are white queen moves to regard: Easy lines are
2. Qf2, Bxd1!
2. Qe1, Bxe3 3. Nxe3, Nxb2
but what about 2. Qc3!? I am not sure if I have found what is best then, maybe
2. -, Nxg3+ (though) 3. hxg3, Qh6+ 4. Kg1, Bxd1 (4. Bh3, Qxh3+ 5. Kg1, Qxg3+ but not Bxd1?? 6. Qxg7#).
I am too tired for a detailed analysis now (it’s 1.30am here), so I better do this (or read the other comments) tomorrow. Good night to everybody out there in the chess world.
Good morning. elephant – 1. Bxd1 can be answered by R(a/f)xd1 instead of Nxd1.
2. -, Nxg3 3. hxg3, Nc4 4. Nxc4 sacrifizes two knights while black only gets one bishop (and pawn) back.
Qh6+ 5. Bh3, Qxh3+ 6. Qh2.
The move Qxf1 is not possible here.
Do I oversee anything with your solution?
