nice one
1)… Rd4 2)ed4 Nf4 wins
1. …Rxd4
if
2.exd4
then
2. …Nf4 threatening to capture queen and if the queen moves black mates on g2 with queen. If pawn captures the knight, black simply captures white’s queen on h3 (which is hanging) and black will have queen for a rook and should win easily.
R:d4
I like this:
Rxd4 exd4, Kf4
White loses the queen if the knight is taken, mate otherwise.
1. Rxd4 just wins a piece, since the rook cant be taken due to…
1…., exd4
2. Nf4! …. and no matter where the queen goes there a mate on g2
A drunk Yancey would whack the anglo priest
i think, this one is simple, because there are so few pieces left on the board.
1. … Rxd4
2. exd4 Nf4
3. gxf4 Qxh3
3. Qany Ne2#
3. any Nxh3+/#
greets, jan
RxB, then N threatens Q

It seems to me that black simply can pick a bishop here:
1. Rxd4! exd4 (playing with a piece down was a depressing alternative)
2. Nf4! gxf4 (other moves are met with either Qg2# or Nxh3#)
3. Qxh3
Now this is a Q vs. R endgame, not immediately obvious.
But whites f+e pawns shall decide easily:
3. … d5 (f4? exf3e.p. and Qg2#))
4. f4 Kh1 (f3? exf3, d6? f3 and Qg2#)
5. f3 Rg1
6. e3 game over, f2 will follow.
or
3. … Re1
4. f4 Rxe4
5. f3 game over.
1. … Rxd4
2. exd4 Nf4
And again some rubbish sneaked into my first comment. Clear is:
1. Rxd4 exd4
2. Nf4 gxf4
3. Qxh3
but in my further comment, I didn’t see the white pawn on f4!
Well, black shall simply need one more move and play g5 first, and the rest should be as I said. Whites extra tempo can’t change anything.
1 Nf4 !
I would say 1)…Rxd4 threatening Nf4 0-1
R*d4 then Nf4 should be easy.
1. …Rxd4
2. exd4 Nf4
3. gxf4 Qxh3
4. d5 e3
5. d6 Kf7
6. d7 Ke7
7. Rd2 Qg4+
8. Kf1 Qxd1+
9. Kg2 e2
10. Kg3 e1=Q
11. d8=Q Kxd8
12. h4 Qdg4+
13. Kh2 Qeg1#
1. … Rxd4
seems to be a good bet. Now, if
2. exd4 Nf4
threatens white Queen as well as Qg2 mate.
However, I am not sure how to proceed if white replies with some other move e.g. 2. Qg2
Awaiting Yancey Ward …
Rd4 with Nf4
Decisive (I think): 1… Rxd4!
Not now 2. exd4? for 2… Nf4 3. gxf4 Qxh3 and black wins easily.
1… Rxd4!
2. Qg2 Rd2
3. Qxf3 exf3
4. a3 Ne5
5. h3 Nd3 Black has a piece less and lock position.
Now move forward with the King should be enough to win.
Best regards
Stef
Sorry. My clerical error.
The White (not the black) has a piece less and lock position.
Now move forward with the black King should be enough to win.
🙂
