7. h3xg4 h5xg4 8. Nf3xe5 What should Black play next? Qd8-e7 Qd8-f6 Qd8-g5 Qd8-h4 |
Yes, of course! 8...Qd8-h4, planning checkmate down the h-file. White has to find a way for his King to escape, so plays f2-f4. Now what? g4xf3 en passant g4-g3 Qh5-h2+ Qh5-h1+ |
OK, just to check that you're still awake, it's time to answer another question. Do you think Black should castle in this position? Yes No Don't know Don't care |
And, if Black castles, which of these moves should White play? Ba4xc6 Nb1-c3 d2-d3 h2-h3 |
In this position White can win a pawn safely by taking on c6 and then on e5. If you want to play this opening with either color you've really got to understand this idea. |
In this position, is it a good idea for Black to play a7-a6? Yes No Don't know Don't care |
Which of these moves do we NOT recommend for White here? Nb1-c3 d2-d3 Nf3xe5 0-0 |
Nb1-c3 d2-d3 Qd1-e2 Rf1-e1 |
a7-a6 d7-d5 Bf8-c5 Ng8-f6 |
