Tactics Exercise 002: How do we break through

in #chess7 years ago

White has a clear edge.

However we need to find a way into the black position.
We could end up with a better endgame, with no material edge, but that would also be a win for white.
There is a little variation that leads to white gaining a massive edge here.

If I had to think quick, pushing that d-pawn forward a square looks tough...

So would you play that ?

Yes.

I ended up playing d5.

If bishop falls back to d7, then white queen stacks on e3. If e6 x d5 then exchange rooks until you can exchange queens. Messes up black pawn structure and probably wins the pawn at b7.

The attack is a lot more concrete.

Yes. I assume you won?

I cant find a winning variation after d5. Maybe just Bxc6 followed by Qb4 trying to gain a couple of black's weak pawns
