This is my first attempt, so give me a break.

Solve it OR point out the flaw ...

First attempt was a fail (too many solutions)



I'll try again. Thanks for your time.

[pgn]1.e3 b6 2.Qf3 b5 3.Qb7 Bxb7 {This looked like a sound start.} 4.Bxb5 Bxg2 5.Bc6 Bxh1 {I originally ended it here with Bxh1, but I think there are still too many ways to get on this diagonal for white.} 6.Bxa8 Bxa8 [/pgn]
