Daily Puzzle 9/15/13-Win a WHOLE rook

4...Qg3+ and 5...BxR instead.

And black does not get more than a whole rook

Wrong - white's K is still in grave danger.

To be very nitpicky, actually 4...Qxh4+ 5. Kg1 Qe1+ 6. Kh2 and then 6...Qg3+ and 7...Bxe5 picks up an extra pawn. And the attack continues with Q+R+B v poor K+Q.

But it's not as bad for black as 1random's line in post #23

That line seems no better for black then winning a rook and losing a piece, he wins the exchange rather than a whole rook.

To be very clear, 1random/Houdini's line is the absolute best.

And you're reading something wrong. I said 6...Qe1+ 7. Kh2 Qg3+ then BxR, not 6...BxR. Like so.

I was imitating BigDoggProblem's line

Well, you didn't get the moves right.

Well then this:

@GSHAPIROY This is getting silly. White is completely busted at the end of your line.

First of all, why not 10. ... Qxf3 in your line? The g-pawn is still pinned so cannot recapture the queen.

Second, why did you title it 1/2 - 1/2?

You're right - that's even better for Black.

Yes it certainly is
