Here's the position. Do you see how White can win a piece here?
|
If Black takes with the Queen, how can you drive it back? |
White can gain time and drive back the Queen by playing Nb1-c3. He can then follow up by playing e2-e4 with a big advantage in the center. |
And if Black takes with the Knight instead, how can you drive that piece back? |
After the moves c4xd5 (which is fine) e6xd5 Nc3xd5 we reach this position. You have to look a couple of moves ahead to work out what Black should play here. |
Amazingly, Black CAN play Nf6xd5, even though it loses the Queen. Have you seen what Black can do now?
|
Can you tell me Black's best move in this position?
|
Play might continue like this: 5. Ng1-f3 0-0 6. e2-e3 Nb8-d7 7. Ra1-c1 |
