Originally posted by Dragon Fire After a 10 second look, fxe5 seems to look good followed by the Exchange sacrifice (i.e. RXe5 regardless of whether BXe5 or fxe5)
I was looking at the same thing too. at the end, white should have 3 pawns + piece for the rook if I'm correct.
Originally posted by DawgHaus What's the line after 1.fxe5 Bxe5 2.Rxe5 fxe5?
That would be a gross blunder because of 3.Rd2.
e.g.
3. Rd2 Qxd2
4. Qxe5+ Kh6
5. Qf4+ Kh5
6. Be2+ etc
I keep trying to play the Rd2 sac in the other lines, but I can't find anything which works.
I think the simple exchange sac must be the answer. White doesn't have a forced win, but all his pieces are wonderfully placed (his remaining rook will end up on d7).
What's the best continuation?
