  Well, this is my line…

  1.Rc5 Nb7
  2.Rc6 Bd3
  3.Nd2xb3 (threating 3…Ba6 4.BxN BxB 5.Nd5+ Nc7 6.Nb5+ Kb8 7.NxB KxB 8.Rc7+ Kb8 9.Rxf7 N(moves) 11.Rxa7 is winning two pawns)

  and now if.

  a)3….e5
  4.Rxf6 Ke7
  5.Rf3 or Rc6 wins a piece for white

  b)3….Rb8
  4.Rc3 Ba6 (4….e5 5.Bxb7 exN 6.Rxd3 RxB 8.Nc5+ wins the exchange)
  5.Nc6 Rc8
  6.Nb4 RxR
  7.bxR and white wins since the black’s bishop is trapped

  and I’m sure there is plenty of errors in there….

  How about 3.Rc3 (instead of 3.N2xb3) Ba6 4.Rf3, winning something on the f file? The b-pawn isn’t going anywhere.

  I would play 1. d2 x c3
  threatening the black bishop with
  2. Nc4ch with even material and better position

  Isn’t this from an Onischuk- Carlsen playoff last year?
