I mean, this is super easy to win, if you plug this into an engine white would win. But if you're playing against magnus carlsen you might not, the easy way to win here is to play Qc4, then retreat the queen, bring the rooks out, eventually play Nd5 and force a minor piece trade, then trading both rooks and do a queen vs 2 minor pieces endgame.
Not super easy for me, I'm still banging my head on the wall over here. But I give a lot of games away in the middle/end game, and I'm holding off on any more rapid chess until I can convert setups like this.
Could run it through the engine but would rather see a human solution first. What you said makes sense, I just can't hack it.
Been haunted by this tactic puzzle that came up a few days ago.
The puzzle itself was straight-forward enough: white exchanges a knight and light-square bishop for a knight, pawn and queen.
However, I don't stop there. My recent habit is taking tactics puzzles to the analysis board and winning against the computer, but after several hours I find myself unable to convert this 3-point advantage (+5.46 on the analysis bar).
How would you guys approach this?
