Difficult? I think it is easy to easy that the black rook has to hide and only the place to hide is moving left.
There is a fifth underpromotion in the short setplay. 1…Rf8? 2. e8B ! (2.e8S?)
Perhaps not very difficult, but still nice. The key is a tempo-move, 2nd and 3rd open the lines.
Thanks Nikola. I noted that for the setplay 1….Rf8 2.e8B! to work black pawn on g3 is needed. Without it, black refuted 2….Rg8! I have asked Julia to correct the diagram.
The diagram is updated as you’ve asked!
I’m not sure that I understand. After 1…Rg8/h8 white can play shortly 2.Qe2+ Kxe4 3.Ra5. The same is after 1…Rf8 2.e8B! Rg8/h8 3.Qe2 etc.. Why bPg3?
Thanks Nikola. I missed this !
