Go up one level in this thread

>>>1.Lxd2 Sf6+ 2.gxh8S Txh8+ 3.Th7 fxg1D 4.c8D exd1D 5.bxa8D

>>White wins by 5.d8Q+(possible lines 5...Kg3 6.Qd6+ Kf2 7.Qd4+ Kf1 8.Qcc4+ Qe2

I agree that after 4.c8D exd1D 5.d8Q+! (instead of 5.bxa8Q) White will win.

But what about the preventive 4....Kg3 (instead of exd1D). Is this also a forced
win for White? At the moment I analyse it with Fritz6 (will take some time).

Christoph
