White to move. How should White proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Bc7
Bc7 .. Rook moves.. Queen dies.. so.. Qc6.. dc6.. Rd1.. cb7.. and pawn queens.. black has to sac the rook for the pawn.. and white wins.. easily.. with extra bishop
how about Rb1
1.Bc7 D:c6 2.d:c6 T:d1 3.c:b7 Tb1 4.b8D T:b8 5.B:b8 +-
Bc7. Now both the rook and knight are threatened. If …QxQ to remove the threat on the knight, then dxQ, and black cannot respond with …RxR because the pawn can capture the knight (and then promote).
Bc7 wins
1. Bc7 seems to win attacking the bishop and the knight.
If Qxc6 2. dxc6, Rxd1 3. cxb7
If Na5 2. Bxa5 and still Qxc6 loses to 3. dxc6, Rxd1 4. c7
Best seems to be Nd6 2. Bxd8, Qxd8 3. Qxc5 but with pawn and exchange up white should win (quite easily).
Have I overseen anything in this line or is there even anything stronger for white to play?
Best wishes from Germany

1. Rb1 seems good to me. How does Black defend its (k)night?
1.Bc7 Qxc6 2.dxc6 Rxd1 3.cxb7
Bc7 QxQ
dxQ RxR
cxN and wins
What about 1. Bc7 Qc6 2. Qc6 Rd1 3. cb7
1.Bc7! The black rook can’t move as it has to keep protecting the queen. So we are left with 1.-Qc6: 2.dc6: Rd1: 3.cb7: and the pawn promotes, winning a piece in the end.
For once a puzzle where the first move is not a check ,:).
1) Bc7, …; and White wins a piece or the exchange.
1) …, Qxc6;
2) dxc6, Rxd1;
3) cxb7, Rb1;
4) b8=Q, Rxb8;
5) Bxb8, …;
Is it right?
