Black to move. How should black proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
I would go Re2 white is forced to take then Qd1+
1. RD2!!
If: 1… RxR
2. QD1+ RD1
3. QxR + KG2
4. QH1 ++
Any other response from white would lead to material gain (at least the black bishop).
– Thank you very much Susan for this “Daily chess improvement” problems. I enjoy them very much!
Excuse me, there was a mistake…
It ovbiously is: 1…. RE2!!
Sorry…;)
1. Please, forget the last post… I think I’m still asleep… This is the good one (I hope… 😉
RD2!!
If: 1… RxR
2. QD1+ RE1
3. QxR + KG2
4. QH1 ++
First, the idea is to consider all threats made by the opponent. With that being said, I believe that the solution is 1…Rd1 Haven’t worked out variations but from what it looks, mate is soon to follow.
Ok, forget all I’ve posted before!. 🙁
1…. Re2!!
If: 2.RxR Qd1+
3. Re1 QxR+
4. Kg2 Qh1++
Sorry again for the mistakes…
1…… Re2 attacks both R & B.B is supported by R but R has no support.
If 2.Rxe2 Qd1+
3.Re1Qxe1+
4.Kg2 Qh1#
If 2.Ra1 Rxe4 wins a piece.
