1…Rxc7
2.Bxc7 b2
3.Td1 Sc1
(3.Tb8 Sb4)
To anon@1:02:
Just curious, why did you use R for rook for your first move and T for your third?
1. … b2
2. forced Bxb2 Rxc7
3. forced Re1 Rc2
etc.
Maybe he’s from Sweden (like me) T=torn in swedish (meaning tower). When youre in a hurry you dont bother about such details.
Hey Susan, i saw you on the National Geogrphic special episode!!! You are so beautiful!! by the way heres my move, I’ll take the pawn, (Rxc7) 🙂
1. … b2
2. forced Bxb2
Probably the best move, but hardly “forced” — 2.Rd1 doesn’t seem to lose immediately.
Rxc7
3. forced Re1
You say “forced”; I say “illegal.” Did you mean 3.Rd1?
Rc2
etc.
“etc.”? Pardon my lack of comprehension, but could you be more explicit? I don’t love White’s position here, but it’s hardly obvious to me that he’s lost.
How about
1…Rxd8
2. Either Bf6+ …Kd7
3. Bxd8 b2 and black wins
If 2. cxd8 Kxd8
3. Kf1 a4
4. Bb2 Nb4
5. Ke2 Nc2 followed by a3 wins
How about
1…Rxd8
2. Either Bf6+ …Kd7
3. Bxd8
White wins with 3.cxd8=Q+.
1…Nc3
1…Nc3
2.Rxc8
i can only see
b2
1…b2? 2.Bxb2 and Black has nothing.
