      You mean Bf6+? That’s the correct first move. How do you continue after …Kh7?

        Rf7 wins a piece, doesn’t it? After that it’s just a matter of technique, as they say.

          Bf6+ Kh7 Rg7+ Kh6 Rf7 Kg6 Rf8

          Would be the line I’m thinking

            All good so far, but the line continues. Black still has a tricky defensive idea up its sleeve.

              No clue to be honest. I mean, you either move the Knight and loose the Bishop or the other way round. There are no immediate forks on the board and I see no stalemate tricks either.

              You can of course play for Knight forks, but with the king being so far away from the pieces, that would be pushing it as a defensive resource.

                So you end up with Rook and Bishop vs Knight or Rook and Bishop vs Bishop, both of which should be winning. I can of course imagine myself drawing those by screwing up the 50 moves, but that’s about it.

                After 4…Nc6 5. Bxd8 Black has a nifty intermediate move which is still losing but makes things a bit less simple.

                  Are you referring to Kg7 Re8 … ?

                  I mean anything other than Re8 is a one move blunder, so should be easy enough to see, but yeah, Rook vs Knight is unclear.
