Black to move. How should black proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
1 Rxp 2 Rxp r ch 3Bxr rxb ch mate
1 rxp 2rxp rook ch 3Bxr q ch & mate
1. .., Rxg2
2. Qxg2, Bxg2 (2. Rxg2 loses immediately to Qb1; not taking the rook exposes for a deadly discovered check and White loses either the Queen or the rook)
3. Rxg2, Qxf4
4. Ra1, f4
Rxg2 wins the house
Main variation:
1. Rxg2 Rxg2
2. Qb1+
i think, it would be
1. … Rxg2
2. Rxa8 Rxg3
3. Rxc8+ Qxc8
4. hxg3
or
2. Rxg2 Rd1+
3. Bxd1 Qf1#
or
2. Qxg2 Bxg2+
or
2. Be5+ Kg8
well, something like this looks good to me. greets, jan
1. … Rxg2! and White can resign. His queen is threatened and Black can give a double check.
2. Rxa8 What else?
2. Rxg2 Qb1+! and mate soon because the rook on g2 is pinned to the king.
2. Qe3 Ra2+!
3. Rxa8 Rcxa8 with two pawns and an exchange up for Black.
2. Qxg2 Bxg2+
3. Kxg2/Rxg2 Qxf4 is also hopeless
2. …Rxg1+
3. Kxg1 Rxa8 Black is up an exchange and two pawns and should win easily.
Hi Susan Polgar,

1 rxp 2 Rxr qb1 wins
1 rxp 2 Rxr qb1 wins
Sac that rook! 1…Rxg2! 2. Rxg2 Qb1+ 1-0
1. … Rxg2!
wins white queen since:
a)
2. Rxg2?? Qb1 mates
b)
2. Q somewhere looses queen to discovered check by rook
c)
2. Be5+ Kg8 delays by one move only
d)
2. Rxa8 Rxg3
3. Rxc8+ Qxc8
4. Bxg3
is clearly up with Q+3p vs. R+B+1p
