Black to move. What is the most accurate continuation for Black?
Source: ChessToday.net
1. -, Qc2+!! 2. Rxc2, Nb3+ and now
3. (anything)xb3, Rxd1# or 3. Kb1, Rxd1+ 4. Rc1, Rxc1#
Too easy if you know there is something to find. Unfindable if you do not know, or let’s say unfindable for me.
Nice one.
1. Qc2 +
2. Nb3 +
3. Rxd1 mate
1…Qc2+
2 any takes c2 Nb3 +
3….Rxd1#
Qc2+
Rxc2 Nb3+
a or Bxb3
Rxd1#
Let’s try:
1…… Qc2
2. Rc2 (forced) Nb3
if 3. ab or Bb3, then Rd1 is mate
if 3. Kb1, then Rd1
4. Rc1 Bf5 leads to mate.
1 … Qc2+ 2. Rc2 Rd1#
1 .. Qc2+!
2 Rxc2 Nb3+
3 either B or axb3
3 .. Rxd1#
Anything that ends with 3…Rd1 mate looks good to me.
I see two ways to get there.
The first is to give your opponent free plane tickets and hotel reservations in exchange for him moving his pieces out of the way of mate.
The second is….
Mate in two. ….Q-c2
….RxR+
qc2 followed by nb3
1. … Qc2+
2. Rxc2 Nb3+
3. … Rxd1#
Qc2+
