Bg6 looks kind of interesting. Checking my choice with Ruffian, it too gave this move the thumbs up. I wouldn't find this move ordinarily, but then you are advertising the fact there may be more than meets the eye here. Between humans, the position is completely resignable after Rxe7, so it is debatable whether Bg6 is really better. In fact in OTB play I would opt for Rxe7 whether I noticed Bg6 or not. > >Some engines have trouble with the first move on this one! > >RxQ...No! > >[D]5k2/3qR3/1p1r4/p2p4/3P3Q/3B3P/P4PP1/6K1 w - - 0 1
