Foreign O 2018. in this position it's white to Play and white Decided to sacrifice a piece Bishop D2 That was taken and white is doing that To open up the queen side and try to get Through to the king Let's have a look Black played Rook B4 B takes A6 giving up the queen and then A7 So it's black to play here's where you Need to think So what is the best way to defend Against White's daring strategy Black to play You can always pause the video to have a Little think And then I'll give you the solution here We go The best move is absolutely clear it is Rook A3 there's a cute move makes me Think of a famous bronstein position Actually Rook A3 is best And the point is this If that's taken with the pawn then Queen A5 and that Scoops up the pawn and black Is winning And of course if a rook takes Rook Queen E1 is a background checkmate Now white can try this one
Put off to Rook takes in fact Black's King is completely safe So for example if check then King C6 Well the king just escapes And if we come to this position If the Rook comes over in fact It's no real threat Bishop G7 and again The king escapes the chicks Black is fine Not so Winnie so Rook A3 is the correct Move you could try Queen B4 This is good enough for a draw So after White makes a queen Queen comes back Queen C6 check here Rook A8 it looks fatal if the queen Moves then rookie ate his mate But black can survive with Rook B6 it's Kind of cute actually Queen A4 still looks terrible if the Queen moves again rookie ate its mate But actually black draws with this Whoops that was terrible Black Drawers With this move Rook B4 sorry about that And actually it's a draw by repetition Okay but that's kind of irrelevant Because Rook A3 is the winning move for Black
