What about of 1. … Bh3! 2. gh3 Rxf4+ 3. Rxf4 and Qxd4 winning the queen 0-1
What about of 1. … Bh3! 2. gh3 Rxf4+ 3. Rxf4 and Qxd4 winning the queen 0-1
That’s a pretty idea, but I don’t think White has to fall for it. How about 2.Qe4+ (instead of 2.gxh3)? Does Black have anything better than to repeat moves with 2…Bf5 Qd4?
1. …Bg4!
1. …Bg4!
It sure looks strong to disconnect the rooks like that. Does it get Black more than a draw after 2.Qe4+?
Where is the Midnight update?
I’m pretty pleased with myself— saw …Bg4 in just over 5 secs.
Only posting one move is absolut worthless. Give us some concret variations! I will try it:
1. .. Bg4
2.Qe4+ Kh8
3. g3 and now perhaps simple
3. .. Rxf4+
4. gf4:
i think black is surely better, because of whites king and the rook on h4 is misplaced. But i dont see a clear win here.
