Black to move. What is the best continuation for Black?
1 .. Nh3+ 2 gh3 Qg3+ 3 Kf1 Bg2+ 4 Kg1 Bf3+ 5 Kf1 Qg2++
1 .. Nh3+ 2 Kf1 Qg3 3 gh3 Bg2+ 4 Kg1 Bf3+ 5 Kf1 Qg2++
1 .. Nh3+ 2 Kf1 Qg3 3 Bd3 Ne5 black has huge attack and material balance (rook for night & 2 pawns)
Looking further after 1 .. Nh3 2 Kf1, 2 .. Qh2 seems to be a better move. 3 gh3 Qg1 is obvious, but for 3 Bf3, 3 .. Qg1+ 4 ke2 Nf4+ 5 gf4 Nf4++ and this mating sequence works even if B on e2 moves to d3!
1 .. Nh3+ 2 gh3 Qg3+ 3 Kf1 Bg2+ 4 Kg1 Bf3+ 5 Kf1 Qg2++
I guess you mean 4…Bh3
2. gxh3 is the most forcing line, but what is the Black continuation if the Knight sac is declined and White simply moves his King out of check?
