RE: Chess problem 73 / Schachaufgabe 73

in #chess5 years ago

That's the main idea and thus I declare you as winner of this round! :)

What would you play after:

1. Nxe6+ dxe6
2. d7 Bxd7
3. Rxd7 Ne7
4. Rxa5 Rc8 ?

By the way the computer program Stockfish just showed me a really tricky defense in one variation which limits the white advantage (which still exists, however). So in case you are interested just wait for my later solution comment.

Sort:  

Yeah thats what I meant by back rank weaknesses. Rxe7 Qxe7 then Ba3 leads to b4! Bxb4 Qxb4 for blacks and Rc1 would be mate. b4 is possible because queen moved (otherwise the b pawn is pinned), so maybe theres a way to go for Ba3 before?

It's very tactical and in a lightning game i'd still favor whites heavily

Yes, this is a clear advantage for white.

At one point in this whole variation black has a better defence so that in the end he only loses one pawn. Maybe you like trying to find that, but if not, I will show you later. :)

Is it Kg8 at one point? I looked at that briefly but whites can do Qf7+ Kh7 then c4 to open the last rook and threaten Qh3, seems brutal but I dunno how it works in practise

It is a variant that starts after 4. Rxa5.
