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

White to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

11. Bxf3 g4 12. Bg2 Ng5 13. Nd3

Why it works

  • Great move! bishop to f3 keeps the pressure (+4.6).
  • bishop to g2 develops smoothly.
  • A natural move: knight to d3.
  • You win a piece — the knight.
  • If instead g4, then Bg2 and you win the knight.
