1.Nxe6
I guess must clarify the whole combination.
1.Nxe6 Qb8 (1…RxQ 2. Ra8+ mates
2.Nc5 Nd7 (2…PxN 3. Ra8 Qc7 4. RxR+ QxR 5.QxN and white is a piece up)
3.Ra8 Qc7
4.RxR+ QxR
5.Ne4 and white unpin its queen remaining a piece up.
1. ne6 qb8 2. qb3 fe 3. qxe6+ kg7 4. ra8 +-
actually, 3 … nf7 is better because afte 4. ra8 axa8 5. bxa8 rxa8 white can play 6. qxd6; of course it’s still a +- but the endgame will require some work; so henryk’s line is better
axel
This is as far as I got.
1. Nxe6 Qb8
2. Qb3 fxe6
3. Qxe6+ Kg7
4. Qe7+ Kh6
5. Ra7 Rc1+
6. Bf1!
(6. Kh2? Ng4+
7. Kh3 Nxf2+
8. Kh2 Ng4+ 9. Kh3… perpetual check)
6… Qxa7
7. Qxa7 Rxf1+
8. Kg2 …???
After that I don’t know.
henryk: 2. nc5 qc7 = (or +/=)
2. qb3 fe 3. qxe6+ kg7 4. rab rc1+! =
the last anon (9:42) is correct
After 1 Nxe6 Qb8, we have
2. Qxc8+ Qxc8
3. Rxc8+ mate.
