2...Qe5?? is a critical error. 2...e2! wins, according to Fritz
of course qe5 is the error..that's what allows me to play my combo....however i'm curious to how e2 wins? does'nt my bishop just takes the pawn? feel free to send me the stream of analysis tha fritz comes up with!!
White's best replies to 2...e2 and their refutations:
3. Bxe2 Nf4 with a double attack at e2 and d6
or
3. Rxf6 e1=Q+ 4. Kh2 Rxf6 and the bishop is immune since 5. Nxb7?? Qe5! followed by ...Rh6+ wins the g3-rook.
thx....for the info. tho' i did notice nf4 after i posted reply for 3.Bxe2.....
Sigh! i still remember the days when we would have to find all of these ideas and motifs on our own. and i guess at medium level the chess.com computer does like most of us still do...Make critical Errors!
The hard level does that also :D
Interesting game. Please help.
