    1. Qb6 Bb6 2.Rc8 should win, beause of the simultaneous threats of Queening and back rank mate

    I don’t see anything better than Qxb6.

    Hi Susan
    As SamiKD said
    1. Qxb6, Bxb6
    2. Rc8     it’s the best continuation, e5 it avoids the immediate coronation
    3. Rxd8, Bxd8
    4. b8=Q, Qd7
    5. Ra1, Nf8
    6. f4     threatens 7. f5 or it opens the diagonal for the bishop, taking at the end the black Bishop.

    Good day
