Magnus is an incredible chess talent.
how about Nh7 to prevent castling, followed by action on the c-file? If black plays g6, white can play Qxh6
Qa7! looks the best with a large advantage
I remember this game, but forgot the move 🙂 was it Bg6 ?
Nice to see you back. I was having withdrawal symptoms without your daily puzzles.
I hope you complained to your ISP provider. They can easily find out who was spamming.

is Rc7 the best move?
qa7 rb8 bb5 0-0 white wins a pawn but there must be more
but qa7 rb8 qxr must be it
Tim, you beat me to the punch! Great puzzle, as it looks like such a “routine” position…

Good Nigth
I did not find 1.Qa7. I looked at knight moves, knight sacs, rook moves, queen moves, but defintely not that one. They all left me hanging, pun intended. Anyway, when it comes to chess tactics, I will always have a house full of improvement to do.
