1.Nc6 f2
2.Nd4+
2…Ke3
3.Kc3!
2…Kd2/d3/e3
3.Nf3 and 4.Nh2
I can’t but agree with Anon 3:37. Furthermore, if
1 .. Kf2 moving to attack the bishop
2. Ne5 with the plan of placing the Bishop on a6 and the Knight on f1.
(What about the other puzzle? I was really curious about the outcome, and the confutation of the 1. Bd2+ line (my favourite). Does the 1. Bd8 line really works?)
If the black pawn gets to f2 its draw I think Black needs to ensure pawn is always protected or the f1 square is only singly attacked by White
So the best bet for white is to don’t let the pawn get to f2
So:
Bg3 and then bring the Knight etc
1. Nc6 f2 2. Nd4+ Kd1 (2…Ke3 3. Kc3) 3. Nf3 Ke2 4. Nh2 Ke3 5. Nf1+, and the black king cannot access the g3 square and white will win the f2-pawn. But this study assumes that white knows how to mate with N+B 😛
