Does any engine find the move 1.Bf6+ ?
After the forced 1...Nxf6 2.exf6 I think it's a winning position for white because I won the game but maybe there is a defence for black.

Do you have any analysis showing it is winning? Just saying it is winning because you won isn't very convincing.

It's a joke when I say it's winning because I won. Isn't it funny? :wink:

It IS a forced breakthrough method.
If it wins and is better than another method, then I think it is a masterpiece in its originality.
This can all be checked out with computer help.
To the human eye, it would require a strong master to see quickly if yes or no.

I forgot to say it was a correspondence game.

28...Nc4 is a mistake, 28...Nb7 (to play 29...Nd8) seems to hold.

28...Nb7 29.c4 dxc4 30.d5 Qd6 31.Tae1 seems good for white. Black can play other moves but according to engines they are not better.
