Correct! blue plays 7xf6 and yellow plays f1=R (keep in mind that red has 15 points, not 14)

I thought you wrote red would end up with ten points?

@Nyutixbrother. While I can’t see the win from that game. Taking the bissop will split the pawns which significantly weakens blues position.

Red should have 10 points, and by capturing the bishop, gets 5. 10+5=15
