Hello
Alexander Koblentz's Book Diagram 176
Sort:
King will have to move to g7 and the knight can fork the queen and king on f5 with a check.
I don't think that answer is thought through
Ideas?
1.rd8+qxd8 2.Qxg7+kxg7 3.Ne6+kf6 ..now knight can take queen on d8. Queen is lost in the end if you play rook g7
Hi I'm reading the aformentioned book ("L'école des échecs/I" in french) but I don't understand diagram 176:
Now the suggested solution is 1.Qb7-g7+! followed by either:
1... Rg8xg7 2. Rd6-d8+ Rg7-g8(??)
and black loses the queen. I don't understand why Black can't simply play 2... Qxd8. Have I missed something?
