Yes, this is better than I had with 1.Nh5 and 1.Ng5- I looked at 1.Nd6 first, but missed the knight fork on the 3rd move. I hate knights!
I love knights!
Sometimes I do knight vision drills while I’m in the gym. When I run on a treadmill I move knight on chessboard in my mind and try to visualize all available moves. As a result it’s not boring to run.
Do you wear knight vision goggles? If so, maybe you could tell Yancey where he can get a pair.
1) N x e5; Q x e5
2) R bd1; Q b7
3) Qf5+; Kb8
4) Q x f6 (White wins Bishop)
2) …; Qf4 looks better to me.
