RE: Chess problem 73 / Schachaufgabe 73

in #chess5 years ago

Yeah thats what I meant by back rank weaknesses. Rxe7 Qxe7 then Ba3 leads to b4! Bxb4 Qxb4 for blacks and Rc1 would be mate. b4 is possible because queen moved (otherwise the b pawn is pinned), so maybe theres a way to go for Ba3 before?

It's very tactical and in a lightning game i'd still favor whites heavily

Sort:  

Yes, this is a clear advantage for white.

At one point in this whole variation black has a better defence so that in the end he only loses one pawn. Maybe you like trying to find that, but if not, I will show you later. :)
