Tactics (38)

White to move had a very good idea in Bischoff - Meijers (Bundesliga 2010).




Solution (diff. 3/5): 1.Be6!! Rxc3 (1.- fxe6 2.Rc7! Rxc7 3.Rxc7 Qxc7 4.Nxe6+) 2.Bxd7 Rxc1+ 3.Qxc1 Rxd7 . The material is equal but the white queen is stronger in this position than the uncoordinated black pieces. 4.Qc4 Ba6 (Qb5 was the threat) 5.Qc3 Bb7 and with d5+, d6 it is clear that the black position is a mess. 1-0 ten moves later.
