what about
1.Qa8+ Kg7 (1…Ke7 2.Qxa7+ wins the rook)
2.Bxe5 QxB
3.Qh8+ KxQ
4.NxR+
henryk, did you find it without moving the pieces? The way you put it , it sounds it was easy for you.
I only found solution with the help of moving the pieces.
Beautiful puzzle.
the move 2.Bxe5! is the very good one, since 2.Qh8+ is met by 2…Kg6
egaion:
Yeah, I did without moving the pieces. However, I saw this pattern on a old game between Petrosian Vs Spassky(I think),so it really wasn’t that hard to find the right moves.
