Black to move. How should Black proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Qd3 then Bf5 -+
BXf4
e2
wins queen or checkmates
#
Bxf4! followed by Re2! -+ should win the white queen.
Bishop takes pawn on f4, e3 pawn takes Bishop on f4,
Bishop to e2, Knight to e2, Queen c2.
Bxf4
1. Bf4 looks interesting. If
2. ef, then Re2 should end the game.
Rxe3 and black win
i think Bxf4 and then Re2 …
1.Bxf4! exf4
2.Rd2 Nxd2
3.Qc2 mate
On 1.Qd3 Qd2!
Rxe3 looks promising (followed by Bxf4)
1. .. Rxe3
2. Rxe3 Bxf4
3. Rg3 Re7
4. Nd1 Qd3
0-1
I would go for Bf4 immediately:
1. …..Bf4
2. Qf4 Qc2#
2. ef4 Re2
3. Qe2 Be2
4. Ne4 Bg4 wins the queen for a bishop and rook.
2. Ne4 de4
3. ef4 e3
4. Re3 Re3 and white is completely paralyzed by the multiple threats of Re2, Rae7,
Ehm, I mean:
1. .. Rxe3
2. Rxe3 Bxf4
3. Rg3 Re7
4. Nd1 Bxd1 (4.. Qd3?, 5. Qd2)
5. Kxd1 Qb1+
0-1
Bxf4!
I don’t think the Rxe3 lines win with best defence by White. I certainly don’t see the win in the last cited 5.Kxd1 Qb1+ after 6.Ke2 (heading to f1).
I think Bxf4 is Black’s best move. After exf4, Re2 would seem to win. And not capturing the bishop just wins material for Black.
Bxf4 !
exf4 Re2 black win
I like Bxf4 first, rather than Rxe3.
The opportunity for Black to checkmate with Qc2 is prohibited by one defender, White’s Q. 1… Bxf4 cannot be met with recapture 2.Qf4 since it is the sole defender of c2.
Yet 2.exf4 opens the opportunity for
Blacks rook on the E file to interpose at E2 between White queen and the mate square in question. NxR and white has interposed his own piece between queen and c2, and Black deleivers checkmate at c2.
I found the answer I hope Susan.,
1…. Bf4
2.ef4 Re2 -+ (2.Nd1 Rae7
3.Rg4 hg4
4.Rg4 Qg4
5.Qf4 Qf4 -+
