Thematic but premature. Black meets 1.Qa5 with 1…Rc8, and the invasion is halted in its tracks.
Part of the idea behind post #3 (sorry if I’m putting words in your mouth, Anon 10:40) is that White drives the Black king to the back rank, where it blocks the rook from entering the action.
I see nothing. Did white win?
1.Bxf5! exf5 2.Nxf5 Qd7 3.Nd6+ Kf8 4.Qg6! should be enough for the win!
Kamalakanta
1.Bxf5 exf5 2.Nxf5 Queen have to go to d7 else Nd6+ wins back a piece.
3.Nd6+ followed by 4.Qa5,5.Rc7 should win.
What about 1.Bxb5 axb5 2.Nxb5 Bc8 (2…Kg6 3.Rc7 when white comes out 2 pawns up) 3.Nd6+ (3.Rc7 Bd7) 3…Kg6 4.Rxc8 Rxc8 5.Nxc8 +-
1.Bxf5! exf5 2.Nxf5 Qd7 3.Nd6+ Kf8 4.Qg6!
4.Qg6 is illegal. Do you mean 4.Qa5?
What about 1.Bxb5 axb5 2.Nxb5 Bc8
2…Rd8 looks better.
Qa5 threatens a double skewer with Rc7.
