      All good so far, but the line continues. Black still has a tricky defensive idea up its sleeve.

        No clue to be honest. I mean, you either move the Knight and loose the Bishop or the other way round. There are no immediate forks on the board and I see no stalemate tricks either.

        You can of course play for Knight forks, but with the king being so far away from the pieces, that would be pushing it as a defensive resource.

          So you end up with Rook and Bishop vs Knight or Rook and Bishop vs Bishop, both of which should be winning. I can of course imagine myself drawing those by screwing up the 50 moves, but that’s about it.

          After 4…Nc6 5. Bxd8 Black has a nifty intermediate move which is still losing but makes things a bit less simple.

            Are you referring to Kg7 Re8 … ?

            I mean anything other than Re8 is a one move blunder, so should be easy enough to see, but yeah, Rook vs Knight is unclear.

        Yeah I’ve tried in a chess app with the AI difficulty set to max, the knight almost immediately ends up winning your rook and forcing a draw
