Bc6 Rb2 Trying to mate on g2 and defending.

I'm not sure where to go from there, either bg2+ or nf4+

Either case I can't find a forced mate in my head atleast

Good start. You don't have to calculate all the way to mate in that line, White gets an overwhelming advantage.

But more interestingly: What do you do after Bc6 Rb1+?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

  1. Bc6 Rb1+

  2. Ke2 Rxh1

  3. Bg2+ Kxg2

  4. Nf4+ Kg1

  5. Ke1 g2

  6. Ne2

Does it work if black declines to take the queen?
