2007-12-15 06:18:48kswarrior1700This was a very easy problem 
2007-12-15 06:19:09kswarrior1700But hard to do in time pressure 
2010-03-24 00:44:33ketchbee11727poor because Qxd5 is also winning 
2010-06-06 14:40:04tngerb1486QxQ followed by Nb5 is also killer..

2010-07-18 11:56:32JoshBrack1627is this a dual solution? after Qxd5 , Bxd5, Nb5 isn't the resulting +1.75 (up a clear exchange ) position crushing for white? Maybe black can force a draw though it seems unlikely.

2011-02-08 06:15:25Freeze1443I couldn't resist the temptation of the rook check. On second look, the queen check was obvious, but that's after being told my first choice was wrong.
