1. Bxf7 Rxf7
2. Qh8+ !!
Very nice but doesn’t 1. Nxf7, Rxf7 2. Rb8 win simply (maybe even faster?), too?
Can black’s king get out of this trouble?
1. Nxf7, Rxf7
2. Rb8, Qc1+
3. Kh2, Nf1+
4. Bf1, Qf4+
5. g3 Qb8
is no clear win for white!!
Thanks, I missed Nf1+ completely.
1. Bxf7 is very nice.
I reckon 1. Rb8 wins just as easily. Threat is 2.Bxf7 and 3.Rxc8.
Black has no good checks, eg:
1. Qc1+
2.Kh2, Nf1
3.Bxf1, Qxf1
4.Rxc8, Qf4
5.g3 and White is a piece up
