minus-squareBonifratz@feddit.deOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoAfter 4…Nc6 5. Bxd8 Black has a nifty intermediate move which is still losing but makes things a bit less simple.
minus-squareck_@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoAre you referring to Kg7 Re8 … ? I mean anything other than Re8 is a one move blunder, so should be easy enough to see, but yeah, Rook vs Knight is unclear.
minus-squareBonifratz@feddit.deOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 years agoSo 5. Bxd8 Kg7 6. Re8 what do you play after …Kf7? By the way R vs K is a technical draw (so not the solution here, even if difficult to defend for Black).
minus-squareck_@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoRook vs Knight is a draw, but Kf7 Rh8 Kg7 Bf6+ Kxf6 Rh6 picks up the Knight if you want to go for that trick
minus-squareBonifratz@feddit.deOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 years agoPerfect, you found the entire solution!
minus-squareck_@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoFull disclaimer, I did have to put it on the (analog) board in the end to find Bf6+ 😓
