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

White to move — find the best continuation

Solution & explanation

Main line

14. Bxg4 Nd4 15. Bxd4 exd4 16. Nd5

Why it works

  • Great move! bishop to g4 keeps the pressure (+4.3).
  • Spot on — bishop to d4 (+4.2).
  • A natural move: knight to d5.
  • You win a piece — the knight.
  • If instead Nd4, then Bxd4 and you win the knight.
