Why is 1. d5 a loser?
d5 Ne8 and the mate is gone.
Thanks. Shmanics would you please tell me what is wrong with Qd3 instead of RxR+ ? lichess.org/training/25503 It seems to me a more efficient approach. Thanks again. Not pleased how many obvious movies get by me lately.
I like this puzzle.
If 2. ... Qd3 then next 3. Re1
If 2. ... Qd3 then next 3. Re1
Hmmm, 2. ... Qd3 good move, but 2. ... Rxf1+ is the best move. Because after Rxf1+ mate in 4.
Thank you, bishopropedancer. ARRRRGHH!
Qd3 Re1 and you don't get a so easy mate, it is still clearly winning after Rxe1 Qxe1 Qc2 forcing white to play Qf1 otherwise Qg2# and after Bxf1 black is a queen vs a bishop but mate is quite a few moves away.
Exactly
