Ne6
1. Ne6 (R-Q-B fork) fxe6
2. dxe6 …
and white’s next move, depending on black’s response, is either
3. exd7+ (recapturing the knight with check)
or
3. e7+ (forking the Q and R with check)
Mark
1 Qh3
then 1… h5
2 Qxd7, Qxd7
3 Nf6+
Qh3 is threatening. Black will have to sacrifice his bishop Bxf2 to save his game. White has an advantage thereafter with the material and position too
I think black has problems after:
1. Ne6! fxe6 (what else?)
2. dxe6
Taking back knight is the minor threat here, the threat e7+ is worse for black. And
2. … d4?
3. Bxd4 Bxd4
4. Qxd4
doesn’t help, so probably:
2. … Kg7/Kh8
3. Nxc5! dxc5 (Nxc5 Qd4+ and e7 looks no better, neither does Qc7 Nxd7)
4. e7
Finnaly forking Q and R, up with quality, at least.
Ne6 looks interesting. Black has to take and then there is a discovered check
I might have looked closer into a slightly different move order:
1. Ne6 fxe6
2. dxe6 Kg7/Kh8 (?)(avoiding e7 with check, but dangerous)
3. e7! Qxe7 (what else?)
4. Nxc5
with even more threats than the opposite order, this looks better.
5. Qd4+ is important, and black has no time to prevent it with dxc5.
A second move other than Kg7/Kh8 is answered in much the same way i think, doesn’t seem to help.
Perhaps
1. Ne6 Qc8 (avoiding to open the c4-g8 diagonal)
2. Nxc5! dxc5
3. Nxf8 Qxf8
4. d6
is critical?
White up with quality and having a
strong d-pawn, and a e-file for rook doubling…
ne6
1. Qh3 h6
2. Qxd7 Qxd7
3. Nef6+ Kh8
4. Nxd7
win a knight
1. Qh3! is winning, isn’t it?
White is threatening Qxh7 as well as Qxd7.
