White to move. How should White proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
1,Qxd7!
Qxd7+. Even a 1000 player could find this move.
How about Re8? Bishop can’t take, rook can’t take. I like it!
Qxd7+!
Qxd7+ Rxd7 Re8+ followed by mate
Go for checkmate! Sac that queen! Qxd7+!!
QXd7
In honor of 1937:
1. QxBch K-N1 (1. … RxQ 2. R-K8ch R-Q1 3. KRxR mate) 2. QxRch K-R2 3. QxR.
I remember when adjusting to algebraic notation seemed awkward. I hurt my neck doing this.
QXd7
after … RXd7 white play Re8
On 1. Re8, Black has 1. … Rd6.
Qxbishop ++
qd7
Qxd7+ and its over
How about..
1. Qxd7+ Kb8 (only continuation)
2. Qxd8+ Ka7
3. Qxf6 …
…
1. Qxd7 Rxd7
2. Re8 Rd8
3. Rdxd8#
If 1..Kb8, 2. Qxd8 Ka7 and White is up a bishop and rook
1. Qxd7+
2. Re8+ wins
QxR+ RxQ
Re8+ Rd8
RxR#
Hello
1. Qxd7+ , Rxd7
2. Re8+ , Rd8
3. Rxd8#
Greetings from Spain
This Alekhine guy must have been a patzer to allow this:
1. Qd7 Kb8 (Rd7 2.Re8 Rd8 3.Red8#)
2. Qd8 Ka7
3. Qf6
How about a nice forcing capture-with-check move here.
1.Qd7
1. Qxd7+ Rxd7
2. Re8+ Rd8
3. Rxd8 mate
This is what Alekhine missed and keres the greatest player never to be World Champion saw!
1.Qxd7+ Rxd7
2.Re8+ Rd8
3.Rxd8# (either Rook)
If the King tries to walk away via b8
then white will pick up the bishop and
both rooks.
1.Qxd7+ Kb8
2.Qxd8+ Ka7
3.Qxf6 with a huge material advantage.
How about Qxd7!
always check 1st, it might be mate
1 Qd7 Rd7 2. Re8
Qxd7 Rxd7
Re8+ Rd8
Rxd8++
Qxd7 Kb8
Qxd8+ Ka7
Qxf6
These guys like tommy k will now proceed to go into a 20 move variation..
1.Qxd7+ should (and probably did) result in immediate resignation, with 1…Rxd7 followed by 2.Re8+ and 1…Kb8 followed by 2.Qxd8+, winning both Rooks. Phil
QxB+ RxQ
