1.Nxd7 and 2.Qh5 clearly wins. E.g. 1.Nxd7 Bxd7 2.Qh5 Rd8 3.Qxh7+ Kf8 4.Bf6 Ke8 5.Qg8+ Bf8 6.Rh8 - no Nf6 or d4 allowed.

I mean 2....d4

thanks very nice

thorex in the link above there is the solution:))) if you want check it:)))

1.Qh5 is a fancy move, we do not even sacrifice material for this attack. But of course 1...hxg5 is a childish trap, we have to check the "serious" defense 1...Nf6.

I'm not happy with 2.Qh6 and 2.Qh4 after 2...d5 cutting off the diagonal for our bishop.

Yes. 1. Qh5 Nf6 2. Ng4! Thanks for the hint, Bill!

this one seems pretty easy Qh5

thorex,

After 1.Qh5 Black must replay 1...Nf6, but White has a better move than either 2.Qh6 or 2.Qh4.

Yes, that should work.

Take a look at http://sverreschesscorner.blogspot.com/2008/04/aprils-fool.html for entertaining discussion of a similar game where Qh5 failed tragically.

After 1.Nxd7, 1... Qxd7 2. Qh5 black can play 2... f6.
