Rf5#<br /><br />If 1. ... Nxf7, then:<br />2. Nxf7#<br /><br />If 1. ... Ne7, then:<br />2. Nc4+!! Rxc4<br />3. Bd6#<br /><br />If 1. ... Rxc3, then:<br />2. Bxc3+!! Bd4<br />3. Nc4#<br /><br />If 1. ... Bh3, then:<br />2. d4+!! Bxd4<br />3. Nd3#<br /><br />If 1. ... Rg2, then:<br />2. Bc5!!, and mate follows:<br />2. ... Nxd6 3. Bxd6#<br />2. ... Rxc5 3. d4#<br />2. ... Bxc5 3. Nc4#<br />2. ... Rd2 3. Nc4#<br />2. ... Bxd3 3. Nxd3#<br />2. ... Nxf7 3. Nxf7#<br /><br />And you're right about the <i>Novotny theme</i> in the Rg2 line. The White Bishop is sacrificed on c5, a square where it can be taken by two different Black pieces (Bishop and Rook) - and whichever Black piece makes the capture, it interferes with the other. :)PC Filhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547063456626761789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38193052.post-45629622790210953122014-05-25T14:38:23.660-03:002014-05-25T14:38:23.660-03:00Tags: Mate in 3, Novotny, Clearance SacrificeTags: Mate in 3, Novotny, Clearance Sacrificejrh150482https://www.blogger.com/profile/10502831081969372299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38193052.post-24771518982964805992014-05-25T14:37:11.028-03:002014-05-25T14:37:11.028-03:00Did you notice that the Rg2 line contains a Novotn...Did you notice that the Rg2 line contains a Novotny?jrh150482https://www.blogger.com/profile/10502831081969372299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38193052.post-75353828926938753602014-05-25T14:35:21.657-03:002014-05-25T14:35:21.657-03:00I think I have it now...
