Oh shit. 1...QxBa8. That's a problem.

Ok, here's another try:



1. Bg2

then if 1... QxBch, 2. NxB pxR(Q) (only move), 3. RxB ch, Ke5, 4. Nd3 ch (by both Q and N) and mate.


or if 1... pxR(Q), 2. RxB ch, Qe4, 3. RxQ mate.



I think that's it?

Oh wait first line is still a problem because 3... QxR. Edit: Oh no it's not the Q is dead (it's 2 NxQ, not NxB).

So yeah that might be it after all.

Nope, 1...Qd6, then we're stuck again, can't play RxB.

I think we need the white bishop both to mate and to protect c4 in case our Nb2 moves, so I'm starting with 1. Bd5 now.
