White to move. How should White proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
!. Re6 seems like the decisive move
1. Re6
Rd6! wins
Alimuzzaman
1. Rd6 .. Nbd7
2. Nd5
I think White is better!
I prefer Re6!
Like the first two commenters, I liked Rd6
1. Rd6 Nbd7
2. Nd5 Nd5 (seems forced to me)
3. Bd5 Rgf8 (only move I see)
4. g5 h5 (hg5 loses in two moves)
5. Bf7 and things are very, very grim for black’s king.
5. …..Rf7
6. Rg6 Kh8
7. Qf7 and I see no defense to the various mating moves white has at his disposal.
Well, if you want a R on the 6th rank, why not:
1. Re6?
Now
1. Nbd7
2. R:d7 and Black is in serious trouble, and has lost his extra piece.
1.Re6 Nbd7
2.Rxd7 Nxd7
3.Rg6+
1-0
1.Rd6 Sbd7 2. Nd5 Qd8 looks not clear to me
I like 1.Re6! Sbd7 2.Rxd7! Nxd7 3.Rg6+
1.Re6 Nbd7 2.Rxd7 Nxd7 3.Rg6+ mates.
on Re6 Nh7
so better is 1.Bxc6 bxc6
(Nxc6 Qxf6 and Nd5+)
(Qxc6 Rd6)
2.Re6 Nh7
3.Rg6+ Kh8
4.Qxf7
