![]() ![]() I'll stop here, I think, and maybe explore further in another posting. 4.Ng3 can be met by 4.e3 4.Rf6 by 4.Qa7, rounding up the Q-side pawns. Very well, try another route: 2.Nf1 Ra1 3.Kg2 Ra2 threatening 4.Qf4. Try then this: (2.Nf1 Rg5+ 3.Kh1) Rh5+ 4.Kg1! (4.Kg2 Qf4!) and it looks as though Black's rook might have to return to a5. 6.Qc7+ Rg7 7.Qh2+ )Ĥ.Qf3+ 5.Kg1 seems to be no improvement for Black. This looks more promising: 3.Kh1 Qf4 4.Ng3! Qxf2 5.b8=Q Rxg3 which looks as though it should draw (e.g. The only alternative, after 2.Nf1 Rg5+ is 3.Kh1. Try 2.Nf1, with a view to blocking the g-file should Black check along it. Or, if 2.Kf1 Ra1+ 3.Kg2 Qg8+ 4.Kh2 Ra5 ought to bring a swift quietus. How about 2.Kf1, to get off the g-file? 2.Kf1 Ra1+ 3.Ke2 Ra2+ 4.Ke1 Qf4 5.Nd1 Qd2+ 6.Kf1 Qxd1+ 7.Kg2 Qf3+ with mate looming. OK, 2.Nc2 was mooted just to see what threats Black has available. What response can White make to 1.Kh7? Try, say, 2.Nc2 to stop Ra1+. The purpose of the King move is to vacate the g8 square, and indeed the whole g-file, for the queen, but also to obviate the immediate check if and when the White b-pawn promotes. I rather like rallyvincent, his 1.Kh7, which seems marginally better than 1.Kf7 as it leaves the g8-a2 diagonal open for the Q after it goes to g8. I didn't check this solution on computer, so mistakes are possible. Yet another line - white is trying to escape. Kf1 Qd8! White can promote either pawn to queen, but only to get a checkmate on the next move. Ng4 after which black use similar approach: 2.Rg5 3. Kf1 Qd1Īnother gimmick white might want to try is 2. Rb1=) 3.Qf4!! and white is losing after both 4. It is important to start with 1.Kf7 instead of 1.Ra1. ![]() Kg3 Qe5 and black are forcing a checkmate. But then black will change their plan and play 2.Ra1 3. Nc2 in the aforementioned line), and threatening Rc6-c8. Rc6, defending the king (white would have reply 5. Ke2 Ra2! - that's where pawn on e4 came handy). The first move is 1.Kf7 (black move his king to c7 and threaten to play 2. But, in my opinion, black can try to win this position, primarily because of the weak white king. This position would be a draw even without a knight, all white have to do is to keep the rook on a third rank (e3 pr g3 squares). On a slow shot first of all, after 1.Rxa6 2. ![]()
