If the d7-pawn were simply removed from the board, White would have three possible mates: Rg7; Nd8; and Ng7. For three of the d7-pawn's possible moves, each one forces a different one of these mates: <b>1 ... d6 2 Rg7</b>; <b>1 ... d5 2 Nd8</b>; and <b>1 ... dxc6 2 Ng7</b>. This leaves <b>1 ... dxe6</b>, which White answers with <b>2 Qf2</b>. It's a pity that the by-play also features one of these four mates: <b>1 ... Ke8 2 Ng7</b>.<br /><br />Themes shown: Pickaninny, secondary Fleck, switchbackjrh150482https://www.blogger.com/profile/10502831081969372299noreply@blogger.com
