R-d3 if Nxd3 Qxf3+ ETC.
I havent’got a clue?
Best of greetings,
Ivanchuck.
Anon 8:26 seems to be on the correct track.
1. … Rd3
2. Nxd3 Qxf3+
3. Kg1 Bxd3 (Nxd3 4. Rc2 Qf2+ 5. Kh1 doesn’t seem to lead anywhere)
4. Qxe5 Qe3+ (any other 4th move of white and black plays Ng4 or Qxe2)
5. Kg2 Qxe2+
6. Kh3 Bxe4 and now white loses his queen for the bishop or face mate by Qg2++.
