Black to move. How should Black proceed?
7k/1p1N2pp/PP6/5P1b/3bN1nP/3P3Q/8/4qB1K b – – 0 1
Nf2+ Nxf2
Qxf2 Qg2
Bf3 and black wins
1 Nf2+ Nxf2
2 Qxf2 Qh2
3 Bf3+
Nf2+ Nf2
Qf2 and white’s position falls apart
Mark
1. …Qxe4+
Nf2+ is the right move I think. Qf2 and Bf3 next. Or is there a better solution?
nxf2 kg2
nxq pxp(b7)
then mate in several moves
Well, kibitzer does have the solution…it is not completely solved after Bf3. You see black can only allow one free move for white. After the 2nd free move, the a or b pawn is queen (and you see the back rank problem in black’s side of the board).
After Bf3, if hxg2, then Qb1 mates, so Kh7 is forced.
… Kh7
Bxg2+ Bxg2
Qxh4+ Bh3
Qf4+ Kh8
Qf2 axb7
Qg1#
Or
… Kh7
Bxg2 axb7
Bxf1+ Kh8
Qg2#
1.Nf2 + -Nxf2
2.Bf3+?
I don’t get any clue because of the typos… when does “hxg2” come?
After 1..Nf2+ 2.Kh2 has to be considered because white has a new queen coming and it might be tricky to find a forcing win for black.
Yeah toughest defense for white is Kh2. It gets tricky after that.
