How can BC4 not be correct??
1…b4
1…b4 wins
2. ab b2
2. R:d4 ba
2. Rb4 ba
b4
… b4, axb4 b2; Rxd5 b2, Rd1 bxa3
…b4 wins
1… b4!
–The Chess Connoisseur
1. …, b4
and either you take a3 and get two connected pawns, or it’s
2. axb4, b2
and you also win.
By the way,
1. …, Bc4
2. Kd2,
doesn’t win: the King gets to the pawn in time.
Bc4 is nothing due to 2.Kd2
The right way is the typcal 1…b4
I’m thinking p-n5, which I think should at least draw.
b4!
1… Bc4 2. Kd2 +-
1… b4 2. ab4 b2 -+
2. Rd5 ba3 -+
very tricky! 1.. b4 wins the day. if white takes axb4, then b2 wins and Rook can’t get there in time. If white doesnt take, then bxa3 sets up two passed pawns!
1…b4 wins.
