Black to move
and survive
[need a hint?]
[Solution]
[archive]
White has just played 1.Nc6+, putting Black in check,
and simultaneously discovering an attack against the black queen. How
can Black defend himself?
1...Qxc6
This move may not have occurred to some of you, since
the knight was protected by the bishop, and also because after a nasty
looking discovered attack with check, some players have a tendency to
panic. It's important in such situations to keep a cool head, and look
at ALL the possibilities objectively.
2.Qb8+ Rc8 3.Bxc6 Rxb8 4.Bxd5 e6
After the smoke clears, Black has reached an endgame with material equality.
A much better outcome for Black than White was expecting!
