what is the strongest move?
Sort:
This is a nice puzzle almost all people miss things like this in a game and that is why they lose.
Wowww I can't believe I missed that. After my last tournament I decided I would always keep an eye out for skewer or fork potentials. Guess I should work on that more.
Mm40: the point is that if black takes the rook with the pawn he loses his queen: Bxd4-pinning (and winning) the queen (and a pawn) for a rook and a bishop. if he protect the queen (wich is attacked indirectly as shown above) by moving it off the diagonal white takes black's bishop for free... anyway white is winning.
I rekon' I didn't see this first time, I only thought about Nh6 attacking the rook and if he doesn't protect the f7 spot to try to lure the bishop away with maybe Ne4. Nice puzzle!
