Jakovenko-Inarkiev, 2010
White to move

ACP World Rapid Cup is taking place right now in Odessa, many top players are participating. Here is a fresh example of tactics from the event. Dmitry Jakovenko played a spectacular move that instantly put Black on the verge of losing. Can you see it?

	I saw no solution, even with your hint about the nature of the move. Then I let check Fritz, also no solution. It suggests Ncb5, after cxb5 it sees no advantage. Puzzled :-)

	Bennie, try making a few moves after Ncb5. The position is lost for Black http://pogonina.com

	Hello. I tried after Ncb5, but I'm not sure they are right. 1.Ncb5 axb5 2.Qa5 Kb8 (2...b6 or 2...Bd6 3.Qa8#) 3.Qxc7+ Ka8(or Ka7) 4.Qa5# 1.Ncb5 cxb5 2.Qf3 c6 3.Qa5 b6 4.Qxa6# 1.Ncb5 cxb5 2.Qf3 Bc6 3.Nxc6 bxc6 (3...Bd6 3...Re 4.Qxc6 Kb8(4...Bd6 5.Bxd6 Kb8 6.Qxc7+ Ka8 7.Qxd8+ Kb7 8.Qc7+ Ka8 9.Qb8#) 5.Qxc7+ Ka8 6.Qxd8+ Kb7(or Ka7) 7.Qc7+ Ka8 8.Qb8# 3...Bd6 4.Bxd6 cxd6 (4...bxc6 5.Qxc6) 5.Ne7+(forking K and Q) 3...Re8 4.Qa5 b6(4...bxc6 5.Qxc7#) 5.Qxa6# 1.Ncb5 Bh6 2.Na7+ Kb8 3.Nxc6+ bxc6(3...Ka8 4.Qxd8#) 4.Qxd8+ Kxa7 5.Qxc7+ Ka8 6.Qb8# http://chesski.blogspot.com/

	> Bennie, try making a few moves after > Ncb5. The position is lost for Black Thx for your reply Natalie I could not find anything, maybe I overlooked something.. Suppose black plays 1. cxb5 Then what should white do ? 2. Dc3 perhaps, but that is not winning: 2.Bd5 3.Bxd6 Bc6 (4.Nxc6 Rxd6) and it looks equal. Still puzzeld, sorry

	1.Ncb5!! A)1...axb5 2.Qa5! and Black gets mated either in one way or another. B)1...Bd6 2.Nxd6+ and White wins a pawn C)1..cxd5 2.Qc3!! c6 3.Qa5! or 2...Bd6 3.Bxd6 c6 4.Qa5! and Black will die without a Bishop !
