long forcing continuation
Sort:
I don't get it, why can't the bishop just move away? Or even take the pawn?
I mean, I understand that white is crushed and black is going to win the bishop no matter where it moves simply because of white's king position. But I don't understand why a5 is a tactic that wins the bishop. It seems like just one winning move out of all the other winning move.
EDIT: Oh I see, it's because of Rc3+. I didn't see that idea, I just looked at the knight check followups.
Quite proud of this long forcing continuation. Analysis found zero blunders, mistakes or inaccuracies which is very rare for me. Can't seem to attach the pgn as a graphic via my phone..
