Black to move. How should Black proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
1.Ng3+ hxg3 (1…Nxg3 2.Rxe1+ Qxe1 3.Qxe1# OR 1…Kg1 2. Qc5+)
2.Rh5+ Kg1
3.Qc5+ Kf1 (3…Be3 4. Qxe3+ OR 3…Nd3 4.Bxd3+)
4.Rh1+ Ng1
5.Qxg1+ Ke2
6.Re8+ Kd3
7.Qd4#
Caveat: Having calculated this line in my head, it seems correct, but I’m not usually good at seeing a postition this many moves in advance without a visual board aid to play it out, so I’ve very likely missed something.
Congratulations on a successful SPICE Invitational.
For a while, I worked on 1. … d4, thinking there must be play in the middle, but the king is the real target after all, so 1. … Ng3+ is a good start.
2. hxg3 Rh5+
3. Kg1 Qc5+ Bad for White
2. Nxg3 Rxe1+ Really bad for White.
1.. ng3
2 hg rh5+
3 Kg1 qc5+ and mates
1. … Ng3+!
And now:
I.)
2. Nxg3 Rxe1+
II.)
2. hxg3 Rh5+
3. Kg1 Qc5+
4. Nd4 Bxd4+
5. Kf1 Rh1+
6. Ke2 Re8+
III.)
2. Kg1 Qc5+
3. Nd4 Bxd4+
Good show!
