    Interesting, but 1.Bc2 is much stronger :).

    Interesting, but 1.Bc2 won instantly!

    I am sorry but I do not understand 1. Bc2 from diagram position. 🙁

    The threat is Bg7 and Bf7 mate. Otherwise, white wins a lot of material.

    I was not clear before. In the diagram, White’s light-squared bishop is on f7 and cannot get to c2 in one move.
