Oh never mind.. I missed Kh2..
After 5 minutes of looking at this, I don’t see anything more than
1. …..Ne2
2. Kh1 Nc1 cutting the communication between the white rooks. White has a couple of options that I see:
3. Rac1 Rc1
4. Rc1 Rc1
5. Bf1 Qe2
6. Qa8 Kh7
7. Qe4 g7 and black is out of delaying tactics as mate is coming.
Best for black appears to be
3. Bb7 Qa1
4. Bc8 Rc8 winning a piece.
….Ne2+
Kh1 Nc1
1…Ne2+ and Nc1
1…Ne2+ 2.Kh1 Nc1! winning the exchange and the game
How about
1. … Ne2+
2. Kh1 Nc1
to win the exchange?
Ne2+ Kh1
Qxa1 Rxa1
Rc1+ Bf1
Rxa1 my bet 😛
1. Ne2+ Kh1
2. Qxa1 Rxa1
3. Rc1+ Rxc1
4. Rxc1#
1.Ne2+, Kh1
and now tactics like Qxa1 look tempting but aren’t good enough.
Instead the simple 2.Nc1 takes the cake.
