QxR RxQ Nc5 probably won a lolipop for the little girl.
QxR RxQ Ne5
After RxR Nxe7+ Kf8 Bxf3
Qxc8 Rxc8, Nd5 Qb7, Rxc8+ Qxc8, Bxf3 …
Just a thought, not sure about Qb7, maybe Bxd5 ??
Nd5 immediately…
Threats of Qxc8; Nxe7+ etc
Kerry Liles
Kerry, if Nd5 right away, then Black plays Qg5, threatening mate, and White has hanging pieces all over the board.
I prefer 1.QxRc8
Nd5? exd5 Qxc8 Bxe2 …
Qxc8! Rxc8 Nd5 Qb7 Rxc8 Qxc8 Ne7+ Kf8 NxQ Bxe2 and white has a Rook and a Knight vs Bishop and Knight
after Qxc8, Bxe2 and White has the advantage but Black can fight on.
jolly
Bxe2?? Nxe2 and black is down a rook (Rxc8 Rxc8+ Qf8 Rxf8+ Kxf8)
Most of the comments in this posting do not make sense. better to start from the beginning so as to know what you are talking about.
here
QxR RxQ
Nd5 Q moves protecting the rook.
RxRc8 QxRc8
Ne7+ gets the queen Kf8
NxQc8 Bxe2
now up the exchange. with pressure on a7 pawn. so if
Re1 Bc4 attacking the pawn on a2.
then
Rd1 threatens mate so Bd5
e4 wins the bishop and the game. NO it does not. lets see.
Rd1 Bd6 !
Rd8+ Be8 holds a bit.
Nd6 Ke7
Rxe8+ Kxd6 and the rook will win some pawns. for example white could win the a7 pawn and move the rook to b file to keep the king out. and march the a pawn to queen.
of course I am using a board and moving pieces around on the board. not so easy during a game.
I dont consider myself to have this puzzle correct. I went into the comments too soon. and then worked harder at it.
