Overlook opportunity to 'tactically' win a pawn?
Sort:
If he takes, you fork his king and rook with Qe4. Therefore, he shouldn’t take to avoid loss of material and you just took a pawn for free. Feel free to reach out with any questions and I hope this post gave you the answer you were looking for. :)
That's what I expect from an aspiring GM, most appreciated. I take it you mean't Qd4. That's insightful and very helpful indeed, thank you for reaching out!
Hi,
I don't understand the above tactics. If I were to capture the pawn on D2, would I not sacrifice my Knight to the King who appears to be safe and for no gain...
Any help would be appreciated to understand this. Thanks in advance.
