Black to move. How should black proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Not easy to spot this one. The first move was pretty obvious, though:
1. …..Qd1
2. Kg2
Of course, the only alternative loses the bishop at e4- 2.Qf1 Qf1 3.Kf1 Be4-+. I had to look a while at this before I noticed a beautiful double attack that draws the white queen away from guarding her prelate:
2. …..Qb3!
3. Qb3 Be4 (with check!)
4. Kany ab3 wins a piece.
White can keep the queens on the board, but there is no way to avoid losing the bishop. If white tries Qd3, black just takes at d3 since the bishop is pinned to the king.
1. … Qd1+ 2. Kg2 Qg4 3. f3 Bxe4 4. Qxe4 Qxe4
5. fxe4 Bxb2 wins
1. … Qd1+
2. Kg2 Qb3
3. Qb3: Be4:+
4. f3 ab3:
5. fe4: Bb2:
6. Nf3 Bc3 looks good enough for government work.
1…Qd1+ 2.Kg2 Qb3 3.Qxb3 (nothing else works) Bxe4+ 4.f3 axb3 5.fxe4 Bxb2 -+
in my opininion the best way to play this for black would be
1. … Qd1+
2. Kg2 Qb3
3. Qxb3 Bxe4+
4. f3 cxb3
5. fxe4 Bxb2
6. Nf3 Bc3
now the knight is dominated and the b-pawn will convert. greets, jan
