@sudhir
In your line 8…d3+ still is possible, I believe, leading to the same problems for white.
Bruno, the pawn on d3 hasnt been taken in sudhir’s line, so 8..d3 is not possible.
By the way guys, i can’t see why it is necessary to go and capture the a6 bishop. Anyone explain?
actually i have now seen that of course black has Bc8 at the end of the sequence if you dont capture the bish. Obvious, in fact
I dont have a board. I use my computer. It would be nice to have the fen for the position.
Here is the position in FEN format:
8/1nq5/bppp4/1p1k1K1N/1rrp3b/2pp2p1/8/n7 w – – 0 1
