Reinforces me with the idea of how important it is to calculate as deep as possible in an important position. <br />Thanks for the solutionHarish Srinivasanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861123209292894750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7360019092704946757.post-18288436152328802662006-12-18T00:14:00.000-05:002006-12-18T00:14:00.000-05:00As promised here are the answers:
The best contin...As promised here are the answers:<br /><br />The best continuation for black after 1.Bf2? is Nxg2! With the following 3 best continuations for white <br />if 2.Kxg2 then Qg4 3.Re1 Qxf3+ (-5)<br />if 2. Ne4 then Bxe4 3.fxe4 Nf4 (-3)leaving the best white response to be 2. Qd4 then Bxf3 3. Qd3 Bd3 (-2)<br />All of which as you can see be the negative scores favoring black.<br /><br />The bonus question of what to play after 1. Bf2? Nf5??<br />is 2. Re1! <br />yielding a (+6) score for white as the best now for black is <br />2...Qc8 3. Nxf5 Rxe1 4.Bxe1<br /><br />The double bonus is:<br />instead of 1. Bf2? White's best would have been <br />1.Bc7 with still a +/= score for white of 0.3.thechessdoctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00699163969166483712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7360019092704946757.post-80703559532498258112006-12-16T13:56:00.000-05:002006-12-16T13:56:00.000-05:00Harish,

Re1! wins material.<br /><br />Keep looking for the right answer after 1. Bf2?. But I promise to give out the answer to this quiz, as I will for all my quizzes, by 48 hours after posting.thechessdoctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00699163969166483712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7360019092704946757.post-77647465981635949362006-12-16T01:41:00.000-05:002006-12-16T01:41:00.000-05:00I guess after ...Nf5?, Re1! wins. Since now the qu...I guess after ...Nf5?, Re1! wins. Since now the queen is overloaded to protect the rook as well as the knight. Hence black has to give up his knight.<br /><br />But I am still pondering over the chess board to find a solution to the first problem in the quiz as to how to refute Bf2. I can see white is threatening to play Re1 and it needs to be stopped. <br /><br />I can also see both ...Bxf3 or...Nxf3 looks bad for black. so what is the move?. Ok, I will think over a little more.Harish Srinivasanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861123209292894750noreply@blogger.com
