Qf4 looks good
Qf4 looks good
1.Qf4 Re8
2.h4 Qc8 and black seems quite fine.
Correction :
White seems quite fine.
After a while I look at the game itself here and then at the analyses posted by Ezzy. I hope you can get it better than me: Nanjng chess tactic.
1 .. Qf4
2 Re8 Rg3+
3 hg Qg3+
4 Kh1 Qh4+
5 Kg1 Qf2+
6 Kh1 Rf4
When the only way to meet the threat of Rh4 is Qh3, and then Rh4 nets the Q and the passed K side pawns should win easily.
So 1 ..Qh4
2 Re4 coving h4 seems forced
Then 2 … Qf2+
3 Kh1 Q f3+
4 Kg1 h4
When Rh4 allows Rg3+ with the same attack except that black gets the rook back, but otherwise, white has nothing against simply gh
mk
Qf4 is the move that was played, but the game went on for several more moves. I don’t see why Rxg3+ wouldn’t have finished it faster.
