wouldn't 2. ... Bxd5 make more sense for black?
Blitz Trick #8
Sort:
^thought the same thing, reason why I thought the first move should be 2.Nxb5...
Bxd5 is actually worse. If you looked at the solution you would see that.
2... Bxd5 3. Qxc6+!! Bxc6 ( 3... bxc6?? 4. Bxa6# ) 4. Rxc6+ Bc7 5. Rxc7+ Kb8 6. Rxd7+ Ka8 7. Rxe7
White is up a bishop pair and two pawns
Its been a while since I posted one of these. Tactic is from one of my recent games. I unfortunately missed it, but I did win the game.
