why is this a puzzle? this exchange is terrible and took the black player from equal to down a piece... furthermore the puzzle makes it look like a good trade because it eliminates the black rook being taken. Black goes on to lose now that hes down a rook.... I also reviewed both moves to the end. the draw route is quicker and a lot can go wrong after the suggested exchange despite blacks advantage of still having a queen. Theoretically black does win after the suggested exchange, but it takes a lot more moves.
the move 20. ... Nd7 forces a draw if all is played right and opens up for an equal exchange. I saw this in 20 secs and played the move and boom puzzle fail.... correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't a draw from playing black be better than losing to white?
