White to Move and Win
[need a hint?]
[Solution]
[archive]
1.Qxb7
This is such a great first move to the combination.
It could be a simple exchange of queens, but it is so much more.
Not only does this remove the black queen as a defender of f7 (where
the e5-knight wants to go, forking the d8-rook & the black king) but
after Black recaptures the queen with his next move, the d5-bishop
no longer protects f7 either.
1...Bxb7 2.Rxd8 Rxd8 3.Nf7+
Ouch! White wins the exchange (meaning White
will win Black's rook in exchange for only a minor piece - a knight
or a bishop) on this oh-so-typical knight fork.
3...Kg8 4.Nxd8 Bxe4 5.Ne6
With his material advantage of the exchange and an
extra pawn, White has all he needs to bring home the point.
