Chess Puzzle #14: Well, DUH!
I was about going outta my mind trying to figure this out. I successfully snared the Rook into place and it cant go nowhere, but I still had to shake this stupid e-pawn threatening to queen.
WHAT TO DO?????
RxP
..BxR
KxB and its an easy win...
took me a good half hour to figure out if that was a safe play. Notice why it is? blacks pawn structure in in pieces, nothing connected. And the black king can't protect them all. :D
so the sacrifice for the exchange actually is the game winner. :D
Plus obviously now my king can go scoop up that trapped rook at my leisure. :D
