And in this position it's over to you to find White's next move. |
It's time for you to do some more work. If you think you're so smart, tell me White's next move. |
7. h3xg4 h5xg4 8. Nf3xe5 What should Black play next?
Qd8-e7
Qd8-f6
Qd8-g5 Qd8-h4 |
Yes, of course! 8...Qd8-h4, planning checkmate down the h-file. White has to find a way for his King to escape, so plays f2-f4. Now what?
g4xf3 en passant
g4-g3
Qh5-h2+ Qh5-h1+ |
OK, just to check that you're still awake, it's time to answer another question. Do you think Black should castle in this position?
Yes
No
Don't know Don't care |
And, if Black castles, which of these moves should White play?
Ba4xc6
Nb1-c3
d2-d3 h2-h3 |
In this position White can win a pawn safely by taking on c6 and then on e5. If you want to play this opening with either color you've really got to understand this idea. |
In this position, is it a good idea for Black to play a7-a6?
Yes
No
Don't know Don't care |
