To AwfulHangover, Black would then have the reply of 3. …Rxf7. I would therefore suggest the following: 1. Rxa8 Bxa8 2. R-d8
At this point Black can take either the Queen or the bishop. Taking the bishop leads to 3. Qxc7 Rxc7 4. Rxf8#. Taking the Queen leads directly to Rxf8#. Is this right, Susan?
1. Ra8 Ba8
2.Rd8 Winning
Is it so simple?
I suggest 1. Rxa8 Bxa8 2. Qxc7 Rxc7 and 3. Rd8
