1…Nc2 wins.
1. … Rxf7 wins
2. Qxf7 Ne2+
3. Nxe2 Bxe3+
4. Rf2 Qxf7
1. …. Ne2+
2. Nxe2 Qxe4
3. g4 Rh1#
tiviakov played …Nc2 and lost.
… Ne2
Nxe2 Qxe4
Nd4 (to protect e3) Rxf7
Qxf7 Qxe3+
Kh2 Bxd4
should win.
Instead of 3.Nd4 white can play stronger 3.Nxg5 with big problems for black due to his last rank weakness.
3…. Bxe3
4.Nxe4 leaves white with 2 knights ahead.
Good idea Jean-Claude, but
after 3….Qxe3 instead of Bxe3
4. Qxe3 is necessary and after
4… Bxe3
5. Rf2 Bxg5
black has R+B against R+N plus 2 pawns.
1. Qf7 Qf7
2. Ne2+ Kf2 (Ne2 Be3+)
3. Rf7+ Ke2
4. Rf1 Nf1
and black has a winning endgame i think.
I think
1.RxN QxR
2.Ne2+ NxN
3.Bxe3+ Kh2
4.Qh6+ Kg3
5.Qh4#
reply to my own post
5.Qh4 is not checkmate…
after the second Ne2+ Kh2 and it’s not that easy for black
I suggest 1 Ne6
