1W0289 [solution]	_____	1W0290 [solution] [Next]
1W0291 [solution]	_____	1W0292 [solution] [Next]
1W0289 1. Bf1 and the Black Queen has no where to hide. It will be taken no matter what.	_____	1W0290 White may still be lost, but he should at least play 1. Nb6 forking the two rooks
1W0291 1. Qxc5 black resigns! Note that the pawn on d6 is pinned to the queen by the rook on d1	_____	1W0292 1. Kf2 wins because he is attacking the rook on e3 and the bishop on b7 at the same time.
1W0293 [solution]	_____	1W0294 [solution] [Next]
1W0295 [solution]	_____	1W0296 [solution] [Next]
1W0293 1. Ne6 forks the Queen and Rook (although the position is complicated, white should win.)	_____	1W0294 1. Bf4 skewers the Black Queen to the bishop on d6 which is already attacked by the queen on d1.
1W0295 1. Nd6+ uncovers an attack on the queen. Thanks to Vince Deuel for surprising me with this one.	_____	1W0296 1. Nf6+ (or Nd6+) creates a discovered attack on the queen at d5 by the queen on f3. So the queen is lost
1W0297 [solution]	_____	1W0298 [solution] [Next]
1W0299 [solution]	_____	1W0300 [solution] [Next]
1W0297 1. Ne6 mate. Moving the knight elsewhere does not work because black can play Bd7. The double check mates this work.	_____	1W0298 1. Nc4 attacks the Queen and Bishop. Since the Bishop is also attacked by the bishop on f4, it will drop next move.
1W0299 The correct way is 1. Qa4+ with a fork on the knight. The wrong way would be 1. Nxe5 (Hoping to play Qa4+ next move) Qa5+ refutes this idea.	_____	1W0300 1. Nxe5+ wins the rook on c6. It is a little more complicated than that though. If Black responds 1. ... Ke7 then both Rxc6 and Nxc6 win.
