    Interesting, but 1.Bh7 was played, threatening the Queen and 2.Bh6.

    That’s wonderful! Good lesson here: I was looking for ways to make the bishop move a check and couldn’t find any, but the mate threat created by blocking off the rook’s control of h6 is very nice. Thanks!

    It doesn’t have to be a check! 🙂 A strong threat is good enough 🙂
