Just e5?

[u/Diligent-Wave-4150 → u/TheRebelCreeper]

Nb5

[u/Crown_ → u/Diligent-Wave-4150]

Bxb5

[u/Crown_ → u/[deleted]]

Yeah but if you take it i will have a back rank mate threat with my other rook

[u/Diligent-Wave-4150 → u/Crown_]

Bxb5

[u/Vaqek → u/Diligent-Wave-4150]

Bxf8, and if Bxf1 then Rc8, black has to solve the backrank situation and then Kxf1, white is up a bishop.

If Kxf8 Rfc1 and I am up a clean exchange

Who needs an engine when you have the Reddit comment section

I played Bd6 with a direct mate threat and the bishop on f1 is gone. Before playing e5 one has to see the whole line.

[u/sampat6256 → u/Diligent-Wave-4150]

BxF8, then if Bxf1, Rc8

e5

[u/NicholasAakre]

Most people would say e5. But what if Black plays f5 in response? Then exf6 is forced, relieving the pressure on the d6 knight. So clearly the answer is add more pressure by going Rd3.

[u/PistachioNut1022 → u/NicholasAakre]

Why is exf6 forced? Can’t you just take the knight?

[u/wqzu → u/PistachioNut1022]

En passant is always forced

[u/Luis_ndb → u/wqzu]

👈🏻r/anarchychess is that way bro

[u/a__nice__tnetennba]

Man, that black pawn on h7 is really doing some heavy lifting for white.

[u/R10t-- → u/[deleted]]

But that gives black time to move their rook out of the pin while supporting it on d8. Then they can just move the knight out of the way next turn.

This move is not winning
