	Amateur (A) 1.RxN exR 2.Nxf6++ Kf8 3.Qb4+ Kg7 4.Qd4! Kg6 (If 4. ... Kf8 then 5.Nxd5 winning a Rook with a check) 5.Bd3+ Bf5 6.Nxd5 Qd8 7.Nf4+ Kh7 (If 7. ... Kg5 then 8.h4+ mate) 8.BxB+ Kg8 9.QxQ+ RxQ 10.Kc1 with a winning endgame. (B) 1.c4 bxc4 2.Bxc4 Nb6 3.Nxf6+ Ke7 4.Qh4! QxB 5.Nxd5++ Kf8 6.Qe7+ Kg7 7.NxN Qe4+ 8.Ka1 Bc6 9.NxR BxR 10.Rhe1 etc. White should win.

	Amateur ..Lol!! thats tooo hard. If it was a fast game I mightve thought of chances with Qc2. One is probably to take the e6 pawn away because Black King and White Queen are on the same line. I have no idea how the other move should start. So... one possibility: after Rxd5. IF 1. Rxd5, exd5 2. Nxf6+, Kf8(opponent didnt see Kd8 hahahaha) THEN 3. Qb4+, Kg7 4. Qd4, Qc6 5. Nh5+, Kf8 6. Qxh8+...etc is clearly winning. It doesnt look so hard if black played Kf8. ELSE IF 1. Rxd5, exd5 2. Nxf6+, Kd8 3. Nxd5, ...etc I dont know... white has N+R+B+Q Black has R+R+B+Q just one pawn advantage? Idk if thats winning(for me ), but Rxd5 was obviously better than Qc2..

	Amateur Ahaaa...! I have an idea...! FOR (3. Qb4+, Kg7) 4. Nh5+, ... Looks better than Qd4 because... Idk, if you see the only 3 choices for black Kg6, Kg8 and Kh7: IF 4. Nh5+, Kg6 5. Bd3+, Kxh5 6. Qe7, Raf8 I was thinking of 7.g3 but black's Bg4 ruined it. So, to prevent Bg4, Qe7 looks safer. Then, i realised Qxf7+ also has a forced mate...black has to defend that. Means...a perfect chance for g4+!! ELSE IF 4. Nh5+, Kg8 5. Qd4, ...etc almost similar to the 4. Qd4 above. but it looks easier for white. (...i guess ) ELSE IF 4. Nh5+, Kh7 5. Bd3+, Kg8 6. Qd4, ... looks promising for white. Right? (or wrong )

	Amateur Okay Black King moved to d8 after 2.Nxf6++ Shall we harass him to the brink of disaster until White's a Pawn up in a favourable ending? 1.RxN exR 2.Nxf6++ Kd8 3.Qh4! Kc8 4.Qd4 Kb7 5.Nxd5 Qd6 6.Be2 Be6 7.Bf3 Rad8 8.Ne7+ Kb8 (If 8. ... Kc7 then 9.Qa7+ mate ) 9.Nc6+ QxN 10.QxR+ RxQ 11.BxQ etc

	Amateur ...FOR(2.Nf6+,Kd Black moves the Rook on h8 to a safe square d8, without playing Kb7. Sooooo... say Black wants to save the Rook and prepare to Pin the Knight after Nxd5. meaning: 1.RxN exR 2.Nxf6++ Kd8 3.Qh4! Kc8 4.Qd4 Rd8 (looks better than Rf 5.Nxd5, Bc6 or Be6 (Pinning Knight on d5) 6.

	Amateur f 4. ... Rd8 my analysis runs as follows: 1.RxN exR 2.Nxf6++ Kd8 3.Nh4! Kc8 4.Qd4 Rd8 5.Nxd5 Qd6 6.Be2 Bc6 7.Bf3 BxN 8.Rd1 Qc6 (or Qe6) 9.BxB and the Bishop becomes a tower of strength. What do you think?
