White to play and win material (lemmy.world)

I found this move in a game I played yesterday. I'm still improving my chess, so I'm glad that I found this move in a 10 minutes game, even though I realized afterwards that I could have played this the previous move already.

Nxf6+ wins the black Queen.

Or Nb6+

[–] DeadNinja@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That wins material too, but why take the Rook by playing Nb6+ when you can win the Queen by Nf6+ ?

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Because Nb6+ also wins the Queen.

[–] Arxir@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Nb6+, Kh8, Nxa8 or Nf6+, Kh8, Nxd7, Bxd7?

But I don't see a winning move, am I missing something?

[–] GabberPiet@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There's no winning move, just win material.

[–] Arxir@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Aaah, i read win material as in material to win, as to say a winning move.
