Bb4 takes the cake
Hi! I was first wondering something like Ng5, but realised that it will lead to nothing… Then suddenly Bb4 occured to my mind – I think tht is the move that wins a Rook for the bishop.
Wish you all good, RickJohn from Finland
How about
Bb4+ then Nf6+ then Qg6+ then Bxf7 forcing …Rxf7 with Re8
Bb4 takes the cake
