1.Ne3
Trapping the queen, who has - no retreat. Sometimes it's best to take
the money & run, as the saying goes. This is one of those times, when
the material gain outweighs the advantages to be gained through a
direct attack on the enemy king. Of course White could
go head-hunting if he likes: 1.h4 Rb2 Creating an escape square for
the queen. 2.hxg5 fxg5 3.e5+- dxe5 (or 3...Bxf5 4.Nxf5 Rxf5 5.exd6
Qf7 6.d7 Rf1+ 7.Kh2 Qh5+ 8.Qh3 Qxh3+ 9.Kxh3 Rxd1 10.d8Q and White wins
easily.) 4.Nxe5 Rh7+ 5.Kg1 Qa2 6.f6 Be8 7.Qxg5+ Kh8 8.Nexc6
Analysis Diagram: after 8.Nexc6
White has three extra pawns to compensate for the knight-pair against
the bishop pair. Advantage (and it's a winning one!) White.
1...Qxd3 2.Rxd3
White's material advantage will tell in the end. This is a more
direct route to the win than the alternative line.
Compare the two positions and decide which one looks better
for White to you:
