http://en.lichess.org/training/25161For this puzzle, shouldn't Bb5 Nc6 dxc6 Bxf5 cxb7 be just as good as c7+? My old Crafty seems to agree with me they're about equal.
cxb7 keeps the opponent's queen on the board. Of course, it's winning. But from a practical point of view, I'd rather take the queen for a bishop, than win a pure rook. And if you count points 9-3 > 5, right? :)
I did a puzzle i the end link was 30156 and the correct combo was rb8+ bd6+ be7, but wouldnt bc7 work as well? then qd8+qxe8+qxh8 checkmate if someone knows can you send me a message
You typed the number of the puzzle wrong.
How does cxb7 keep the queen alive?
cxb7, Bd7, bxa8Q, Qxa8 and there she lives :D
