Still, is there really no way for Duras to defend himself out of this? I reviewed the combination with chesspad a little, and while both fxg5 and fxe5 do lead to mate, I'm not certain that Nxe5 does, or at least not as easy.
1. ..Nxe5 2. ?
The lethal reply can't be 2. dxe5? since that would give 2. ..fxg5, so what am I missing?
