Chess960 twist: use the unusual starting setup of the pieces.

White to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

12. Bxg6 Qxg6 13. hxg4

Why it works

  • Brilliant! The bishop on g6 is a sacrifice that works — you stand better (+3.0).
  • Well found: pawn to g4 (+2.9).
  • You win a piece — the bishop.
  • If instead Qxg6, then hxg4 and you win the bishop.
