White to move. Can you find the best continuation for White?
Source: ChessToday.net
I tend to believe that 1.Bxf7+ is strong, however, cannot find a win after 1…Kxf7 2.Qc4+ Kf6. The black king is so awkwardly placed here and yet I do not see anything for white. Any suggestions?
1. Bxf7+ Kxf7
2. Qb3+ Kf6
3. Ne7 threatening Qe6# with no adequate defense.
Why isn’t 3. … Rxe7 an adequate defense?
if 3…Rxe7 then 4.Qf3+
Nice! Silly of me to only consider the queen check on c4 but not on b3.
