OK, let's try another one.


Flip


Black's Rook on a8 is unprotected.

How should White proceed?

Correct! Good to see a weaker player having a go ;-) %-)

Solution:

1. Bxf6 removes the black defender of the e4 square.

After Black's 1...Bxf6 or 1...gxf6, White can play

2. Qe4 when Black either loses the Rook or is mated on the next move.
