1. Q:d6 for if 1…R:d6 2. Re8+ Qg8 (forced) 3. R:g8#
Qxd6 seems to be winning.
QxN
Just take the knight:
1. Qd6 Rd6
2. Re8+ and white gets the queen back netting a knight.
Qxd6!
Qxd6 wins a free piece at least!
1. Qxd6!! Rxd6
2. Re8+! Qg8
3. Rxg8+ checkmate
Qxd6 Rxd6 Re8+ Qf8 Rxf8+ Kg7 Ne8+ +-
White ends up with a Knight after Qxd6, Rxd6, Re8+, Qf8 (else mate), Rxf8+, Kg7, Ke8+ and this fork leaves him up a Knight.
1.Qxd6 and white should be a knight up in any case.
If 1…Rxd6
2.Re8+ Qf8
(2…Qg8 3.Rxg8#)
3.Rxf8+ Kg7
4.Ne8+ Kxf8
5.Nxd6
And white should have a winning endgame with about 2 pawns extra material.
Did I miss anything?
Qxd6
qxd6
1. ♕xd6
1. … ♜xd6
2. ♖e8+ ♛g8
3. ♖xg8#
Qxd6
causing havoc and threatening arab mate with Robert on g8 and Harry on f6
1.Qxd6 wins.
Queen takes Knight.
Black king has no escape fields, so therefore it’s interesting to look at:
1. Qxd6! Rxd6 (else white is up with piece right away)
2. Re8+ Qf8 (Enforced. Qg8?? Rxg8#)
3. Rxf8+ Kg7
And black at first seems to keep the balance, but now I find the really decisive move (by luck):
4. Ne8+! Kxf8
5. Nxd6
1 – 0
Really funny and instructive this one.
QxN I think wins.
QxN I think wins.
1- Qxd6 is irrestible
QE7 wins. If QxE7 then RxE7 with mate next move
White wins a piece with
1.Qxd6!!
Black rook on d8 can’t take the white queen in the view of the following line –
1…Rxd6
2.Re8+
Here black has to sacrifice the queen on f8 to avoid mate
2…Qf8 (2…Qg8 3.Rxg8#)
3.Rxf8+ Kg7
4.Ne8+!! (the point)
4…Kxf8
5.Nxd6
with a won end game.
Qxd6 Rf8, Re7 wins.
White comes out a knight ahead with best play by both sides.
1. Qxd6 Rxd6 2. Re8+ Qf8 (2. .. Qg8?? 3. Rxg8#) 3. Rxf8+ Kg7 4. Ne8+ Kxf8 5. Nxd6
4. Ne8+ after black’s “smart sack” Qf8 instead of the stupid Qg8, was the real point here.
I didn’t see 4. Ne8+ from the beginning, but after playing the 3 first moves where black double attacks N+R with his 3. … Kg7, then it was possible to see it…
