Just got a good position for study from a Fritz friendly mode game. Only I am not sure if it is an easy puzzle to solve or a hard one.
During the game I missed the best continuation and played a much weaker move. Still got a draw in the end, narrowly missed a defeat.
The position is below, with white to play. Note, the e5 pawn is attacking the knight on d4.

White`s best continuation will be posted in the comments section.

ReplyDeleteThe best move given by my Fritz programme was Bxh6. It eventually leads to an overwhelming advantage for white, though it does not result in a forced checkmate.
ReplyDeleteDuring the game I became mistakenly transfixed with the notion that I had to save the Knight on d4. So I ended up making a much weaker move by moving the knight away from attack.
