Qxh5 because of the awesome bishops. Then I went: Oh, but black can reply qxh2+ and destroy the attack. Next thought was: I must deflect blacks queen and I arrived at Rd7 fairly quick. Know, as I see it, black must change queens with Qxh2+ to avoid either checkmate or the queenloss for nothing. After white plays Qxh2, Nxh2, Kxh2 blacks bishops is forked by the rook and I cannot see how black can defend them both. If I am correct the answer is [b] 1. Rd7!, Qxh2+ 2. Qxh2, Nxh2 3. Kxh2, [/b] and black will be two pieces up because of the fork. I got a little concerned about black throwing in the in-between move 2. Bxg2 but I think that white can calmly reply with Kxg2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042996779792668316.post-91934878949228089302009-08-22T23:26:24.087-04:002009-08-22T23:26:24.087-04:00I agree with Mr Rocks and think 1.Rd7 is the best ...I agree with Mr Rocks and think 1.Rd7 is the best move... <br />if 1...

After reviewing Rd7 it seems that would be a stronger position for white; kind of seems like closing the vice grips on black a little more, leaving black with less options to equal material or tempo. So I would agree with the others Qxh5 seems = but white +-spansoynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042996779792668316.post-28951736301269454162009-08-22T15:00:24.054-04:002009-08-22T15:00:24.054-04:001.Nxe6 is good but 1.Rd7 is much better.1.Nxe6 is good but 1.Rd7 is much better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042996779792668316.post-51378886418849144452009-08-22T13:36:54.299-04:002009-08-22T13:36:54.299-04:00What's wrong with Nxe6?
