I thought some time (without engine).

And I think - 1.Nh5+ Bxh5 2.Rxh5 is the best - with very good (IMO winning) game for white. That will be my choise OTB.
White have h line forever or passed pawn on it.

Then I looked with engine and saw what a great (much greater) possibility I missed! :)

Thanks!
Ilmars

Re: ?

With Nef5 I was on the wrong way.
But the Computer moved Rh7! Kg8 Rh6.

Hi, Riha!

Yes, move 1.Rh7 is beatiful.
Another brilliant move is possible too - 1.Rh6.

:)

Hello Ilmars, I know. Only one engine did this move :-)
Greetings, Josef.
