Originally posted by demonseedHmm, my ability to read a position seems clouded. The only way to capture the knight is by the king pawn, but while I see check, I can't find the forced mate.
The king is in check, if the knight is captured he gets mated; if he doesn't capture the knight he loses the queen.
1) Qf7+ Kd8 2) Bg5+ and black has Nf6, Ne7, and protection close to the king, and potential escape to c7.
Mind you, I can see that Black is clearly losing at this point, but he still has some fight.

That was my prefered opening for a while before I quit playing. I still bring the knights forward like I'm working that opening, but I forgot how it goes after I place the two knights.
Does anyone know how it's supposed to go? Is it popular for anyone else?
I like it because the knights can guard multiple pawns easily, and are pretty mobile.
