White to move and win
Sort:
In the final position(after 3.Be4), move the a-pawn loses due to 4.Nxb6+ Ka7 5.Bxb7 followed by 6.Nc8#. But what if 3...Bc6 instead?
3..Bc6 loses to 4.Kxc6! (Lol). White will just continue with a shortened form of the B+N mate, with the king already cornered on the right colour corner. I stopped the puzzle here because of that reply.
I've saw 4.Kxc6 too, but i thought that it would take more longer to checkmate with K+B+N vs K(luckily the black's K is in the correct corner to give mate). But then 4...Kb8 5.Ne7(covering c8) a6 6.Bf3 a5 7.Be4 axb4 8.Bf3 Ka8 9.Kc7#. Correct me if i missed something.
