Black to move. What is the absolute best continuation for black?
Kosteniuk – Krush (Baku Chess Olympiad)
It’s a good idea to take a last look around the board before moving to make sure you haven’t missed something.
Especially forks. Nobody should be allowed to move before asking the question – how can that stupid knight fork me.
black KNIGHT can fork by : Pawn to H5, King takes H5, then Knight to F4check, taking the white Bishop. If King does not move, then Pawn takes Knight, still good for Black
I spent a good part of my chess playing asking the the question- how did that stupid knight fork me?
Don’t we all! A good game is one where the other guy is irritated by my knight(s).
Pawn to G5
I mean, P to H5
This is definitely a horse parade after the initial spear threat. At first I though white might be able to save things with 2.Bd5, but the black knight has a resource that involves a discovered check.
That’s the pretty continuation, but doesn’t 2. …Nc7 suffice?
It does suffice- ultimately the same material edge.
