| Nov 4, 2020 at 9:47 | comment | added | Drako | @RemcoGerlich I would say after 1...Nxe2 Kf1 2. Ng3 fxg3 3.Bc3 whites drawing chances are still miserable as bishop will be stronger on 2 flanks, Rxa4 is coming, but probably still better than playing Nxc3 where Rxg4 destroys everything immediately - that's why I don't see much point in such puzzle as answer still loses, just slower | |
| Nov 4, 2020 at 8:51 | comment | added | RemcoGerlich | 1.g5 isn't such a poor move. Black can reply ...Nxe2+, but white plays Kf1 attacking the knight, so he gets one piece back. And 1.Nxc3 would lose a pawn to 1...Rxg4+ 2.Ksomewhere Bxc3. | |
| Nov 4, 2020 at 8:14 | comment | added | Zhiltsoff Igor | @Drako the author of the puzzle accounted for the possible check as the Ne2 is the final step to the solution. The question is as to why the White let such a thing happen in the first place; yes, I am quite clumsy with the board, sorry. I will try to tweak it. Is it possible to add the columns and the rows onto the viewer? | |
| Nov 4, 2020 at 8:08 | comment | added | Drako | probably some error in puzzle as black could as minimum take N on e2 with check; by the way - you have wrongly set-up board - I was confused initially while reading about moves Nf6 and Rf6 because no N or R can move to f6 in a position - then I looked at board and it was clear that you have set-up it wrong - those moves you offer are Nc3 and Rc3 | |
