White to move. How should white proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
I would play …Nxc4.
1. Nxe5 dxe5
(if Black bishop takes the queen with 1…Bxd1, then White has mate in two with 2.Nf6+,gxf6 3.Bxf7#)
2. Qxg4
(From here on I am not sure what will be black’s best move, but its surely in a lot of trouble with four attacking white pieces)
1.Ne5 wasn’t the first move I looked at, but it was the runner up. The hard part for me was seeing white’s second move if black captured the queen in that line- I hate knights:
1. Ne5! Bd1??
2. Nf6! gf6 (only move now)
3. Bf7#
So, black must lose a piece by either retreating the bishop at move 1, or capturing the knight at e5 and lose the bishop at g4 to the queen.
1. Nxe5! since 1. … Bxd1 is answerable by 2. Nf6+! gxf6 3. Bxf7#.
Beginner’s tactic!
This was the queen sacrifice I had seen first, while learning chess.
Now looks simple.
1. Nxe5! Bxd1
2. Nf6+! gxf6
3. Bxf7#
1. Nxe5 Bxd1(?)
2. Nf6+ gxf6
3. Bxf7#
Of course if black declines the capture of the Q on move one with dxe5 then white will have to settle for merely a pawn after 2. Qxg5
This is a nice Legal theme. I’m counting nine moves, if i’m not missing anything… so:
10. Nxe5 .. dxe5
11. Qxg4 +-
If instead 10 .. Bxd1
11. Nf6+ followed by
12. Bxf7#
Difficult.
My first idea was a Q sack:
1. Nxe5 Bxd1??
2. Nf6+ gxf6 (only)
3. Bxf7#
but, black doesn’t have to take queen.
It still looks unclear after
1. … dxe5
2. Qxg4
The idea is 1. Nxe5! followed by 2. Nf6+ and Bxf7#
the black king is so tightly locked in his box, that it´s possible to play this:
1. Nxe5 Bxd1
2. Nf6+ gxf6
3. Bxf7#
i don´t know, if this is useful, but obviously any other move by black simply loses a piece. (dxe5, 2. Qxg4)
greets, jan
old pattern in classical chess days… theres mate in f7 with N at e5.
1. Nxe5 BxQ 2. Nxc7+ Qxc7 3.Bxf7#
1.Nxf6+ gxf6 2.Nxe5!
1.Nf6+ followed by 2.N:e5
I am unable to see anything beyond escaping the knight pin thru Qa4+ and then attacking f7
N x e5 .It´s over…If B x d1.
Nf6+ ; gxf6
Bf7 ++.
If B doesn´t take d1 , black loss a piece
1.Nxe5 BxQ;(if dxe5 material advantage for white by Qxg4).. 2.Nf6+ forced to eat…then Bxf7#
1.N x e5 If B x Q on d1 2. N f6+ g x f6 3. B x f7 ++. If d x e5Q x b5 n white is piece up
sorry guys but if nxe5,be6 and after c6 white looses the piece,i think the answer is nxf6+,gxf6 forced and now nxe5,dxe5 and now qxg4!
