It’s Your Move #12
In our recent update on What’s New in Theory we set a little challenge for our readers.
It appears that quite a few missed it. So here is one more chance. In the following position Black overlooked an elegant tactical trick.
Can you spot the same?
Black to play
This was a blitz game. So you are allowed only 5 seconds to solve.
Or else you overstep the time limit 
.
pls notify me of latest tactics
Dear reader,
Not sure what you mean by latest tactics.
We do intend to put up a new exercise.
Dear Kai,
1…f5 is what Black played.
It gives the advantage, but not an immediate win.
My move (black) : Rc4 .
…f5 Bb1 (Bf3 Rc2 Nf1 Rxd1 Bxd1 Rxb2) Rxd2 Rxd2 Rc1+
Correct version
Dear chessbibliophile
Then 2….RCd4
Nice website tanks to ” Thechessworld “
Dear friend,
Congrats!
You have succeeded.
Dear chessbibliophile
Then Rd4
Dear Goldfinch,
After 1…Rc4 White withdraws the bishop with 2.Bf3.
A reader on our Face Book spot made an interesting suggestion.
1鈥d4!? with the threat of 2鈥d8.
It does not work as White has time to bring his king closer to his knight and rook.
There follows 2.Kf1 f5 2. Bb1 Rxd2 3.Rxd2 Rc1+ 4.Ke2 Rxb1 and Black enjoys only slender advantage.
Nevertheless, this was a fascinating try.
