As soon as one defender is eliminated without eliminating an attacker, the prize seems for white. Fritz 7 also sees it in the blink of an eye. I fed the situation to my Pocket ChessPartner 1.1 and it didn't find the move; at 9 ply it still stuck with Qg5 and an evaluation of 0.84, roughly the "pawn ahead". It takes some time to see the damage: 1. e6 (0.20/6>-0.30/7) 1...Bxd6 2. d5 (-0.72/6>-1.19/7) 2...Qb5 3. Rh4 (-1.27/7) 3. Qc5+ 3...Rf2 (ibid) J.
