I feel an urge to play 1...Nxd5 here. 2.Qxa5 Nxe3 3.Rd2 a6 looks a lot of fun; don't know if it's sound.
ReplyDeleteI was put off this because you have to calculate loads and White can just recapture the knight. But, looking more, that's a better version of my line below, and if White takes the queen his dark squares are weak and coordination poor.
Deletehi guys. Sorry for no response yesterday. I ended up working a lot longer into the day than I expected.
DeleteI’ll put some additonal comments in reply to today’s Masters’ Feedback post.
I want to keep queens on so, to avoid dropping e7, went for Qa1+ with the idea Kc2 Qa4+ Kb1 Nxd5.
