i think in your line 3.Qe4 would solve the problem for white

assuming you mean after 2.bxf3 and qg3 isn't rf4 just crushing?

3.Qe3 and black is basically forced into a tough double rook endgame.

On 3.Qe4 I think 3...Qxh3+ looks promising for black.

But doesn't 3.Rxf3 spoil the fun for black?

Ah, yes like Qe4, probably not as good as I thought....

Maybe you didn't notice the secondary line....it involved rxf3.  Do you have anything else in mind?L

only thing I see is qe3 instead of bg2.  But, that just seems to be a clearly lost endgame/middlegame(whatever you want to call it) because the passed pawn coupled with the fact the white rook can't get off the back rank equals an easy win

haha.....and funnily enough I missed a mate in 1 in my analysis in the secondary line

Yes, missed that.

So no one has any ideas....does this mean that I am actually not missing something?
