5. Qe5 only, Ne7 [A: 5. …, Kf7 6. Qc7, Ke8 Draw; B: 5. …, Kd7 6. Qd5 Draw; C: 5. …, Kf8 6. Qf6 Draw]
6. Qh8, Kd7
7. Qd4, Kc7
8. Qxa7 Draw, the black cannot avoid the continuous checks
Good day
Or if 1. Rb8+ Qd8, then 2. Rxd8 Rxd8 3. Qe6+ Kf8 (3… Kh8 4. Qf6+ winning) with at least a perpetual. I keep wanting to look for a win.
Well, 1. Rb8 is necessary and offers many practical chances. However, according to my analysis with Fritz, the position after 8. Qxa7 (evmgdm line above) is still lost for white.
Who’s Fritz?
