JulesR Dec 2020 8:42am, 28 Dec 2020 25,703 posts	0 JulesR I missed that post yesterday by Salty (JamHam) saying about his 2nd game against Runners. His opponent did execute a very neat mating attack in the position below. JamHam playing white understandably takes material with BxR, but how does his Runners Opp finish the game as black? Thanks to Salty for the example & well done on winning the other game:)
SPR Dec 2020 9:09am, 28 Dec 2020 32,732 posts	0 SPR I already looked yesterday and it was a beautiful counter attack, seeing your opponent's plan and turning it against them. Castling used as an attacking strategy. Not sure I'd see that in a game. SD was up until the bishop move.
JulesR Dec 2020 9:41am, 28 Dec 2020 25,704 posts	0 JulesR I’m not sure what move instead of BxR I can play to escape the threat SPR? That’s part 2 of today’s problem - white to play & survive. Salty’s opp said he expected him to give up Queen for 2 rooks a few moves before, but felt that his knight would still be ‘annoying’
