Well, 1…Nb3 is what jumps to the eye first but that doesn’t work after 2 Rd1.
Looking a little further, I think the right way is 1…Ne6. Then if 2 dxe6 Rxc1+ 3 Bf1 Rxf1+ 4 Kxf1 Qh1 mate. Anything other than 2 dxe6 loses the queen.
“Anything other than 2 dxe6 loses the queen.”
I don’t agree with this statement but absolutely with the given line.
There are many moves that do not lose the queen but the bishop on c1. Probably you wanted to write that, didn’t you?
Of course Ne6. Easy piece of cake.
probably he meant “anything other than 2.dxe6 loses the bishop” rather than the “queen”.
