Re: White to Play and Win
Looking at the board, my first thought was e7 followed by Re1.
Here's what Chess.com comes up with:
1. e7+ d7 2. e4 d4 3. cxd5 e8 4. xh6 xe7 5. ae1 xd5 6. xg7 xg7 7. d2 xe1 8. xe1 c5 9. h4 xb2 10. e7 c1+ 11. h2 c6 12. c4 c7 13. xd7+ xd7 14. xg6 f4+ 15. g3 f6
Sorry - piece names missing from that copy/paste.

Human chess is partly about tactics and strategy, but mostly about memory

Re: White to Play and Win
You mean 20.Nd5, not d4, which isn't possible in given game, disregarding c2- pawn, regardsrj329 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 23, 2025 4:59 pm [d]2kr3r/1bp3b1/p2pP1pp/2qn4/1pP2BQ1/1P6/1PPN1PPP/R4RK1 w
