ra7+. if king takes, qa3+ and ra1. its either mate or bb5 pinning queen and king. If king doesnt take, check again and queen a3 or bb5 with same pin. (maybe 🙂 )
Susan, if this is what you do to 2500+ players what chance will I have when I play you THU 15th June at 4:00 PM in Las Vegas? Any advice? I will consider it good if I make it past move 30 against you or if I must lose, at least beat me before 7:00 PM when I will be playing in the blitz tournament. P.S. How do I get one of those coins with your picture on it?
Bxb5 seems to win an exchange right away. Of course in a problem like this, Rxa7 probably leads to mate, but I haven’t figured out yet how ;).
Rthakes a7 followed by Btakes b pawn and mate on the white squares after say…something like Qa4 Si?
