1. Rxp
with the threat of Bf4. the fork on e2 is saved by the bishop.
1… QxQ
2. RxN
The queen has nowhere to go. The only squares available to it will lose the Q to bf4
What about 1. Rxe4 (threat is Bf4), Qxg3 2. Rxd4! winning back the queen (which has no retreat) for the bishop (e.g. 2. -, Qc7 3. Bf4 and white is up a pawn and black’s strong center has been demolished (and d5 is weak now, too).
Just an idea, perhaps there is any stronger move…
1.Rxe4 QxQ
2.Rxd4 Qg4 black has the exchange.
An absolutely gorgeous game. Check out that rook action moves 18-25.
RxP is the classic historic move.
Nice picture, Susan! You look like you’re checking out the chess diagram. 1.Rxe4 winning a pawn is the right move.
This is the
link of that original game
alfiere A5!
guadagna la regina e va a vincere!
