Bd2 is an absolute blunder, Rd2+ and it's game over for us.

And how about not taking the knight? Nc3 kf1 or similar? You do not have the fork, and you have a „threat“ of a discovery check. Like nc6 checking the king and threatening the rook and bishop?

And if he moves the knight you can still move the rook?

But i get your point.

I vote resign

Nxc3, Kf1, Rd1!

And? You trade rooks, bring the bishop out, what should be done a long time ago, and where is the knight going?

If you bring the Bishop out it can take the pawn on B2.

You can defend the pawn before that, right?

Rf1

Does not the king stays in the centre, black plays castle, pin the knight, and your knight is lost? Or somehow bring the rook to the e file, play f6, knight move, and you give a double check winning the rook?

The minimal material loss is to give up a pawn instead of the knight! But i can be wrong here

I think if a player beats the Level 8 stockfish in 1 + 0, he will have a trophy of honor like @ZugAddict
