Black, to play, blundered with 1…Bf6. What should white play?
M Levitt v D Solomons 1995
Solution
Black could have played 1…e3, and if 2 hg e2, or if 2 fe Be3, and the game goes on. Instead, he played 1…Bf6:
Examine all biffs means that 1 g4+! has to be looked at. 1..Kf4 is pointless, met with 2 Rf6+ (with check) so 1…Kg4 is forced. But 2 Rf6 all the same, this time without check, and it is easily seen that black has nothing. For instance, 2..Kh3, 3 Be6+ is game over.
