2W0293 [solution]	_____	2W0294 [solution]      [Next]
2W0291 Not 1. Bxd6 Nxd1. Instead 1. Be5!!! win a pin on the knight on b2. i.e. 1. ... Nxd1 2. Bxa1 or 1. ... Rb1 2. Bxb2 wins.	_____	2W0292 Not 1. dxc8=Q Rxd1 mate. Instead 1. Nxe6+!! forking the king and rook. Then if 1. ... fxe6 2. dxc8=Q with check wins easily.
2W0293 1. Bxg4+ mates next move. 1. ... Kh6 2. Nf7 mate 1. ... Kh4 or 1. ... Kxg4 Qh3 mate Also works is 1. Qh3+ Kg6 2. Bd3 mate.	_____	2W0294 1. Bxg7+ Kxg7 2. Nf5+ makes an discovered attack on the queen by the rook on d1. Black could play 1 .... Kg8 but would lose his rook on f8.

2W0297 [solution]	_____	2W0298 [solution]      [Next]
2W0295 1. Qe2 stopping mate and now the knight is pinned because if it moves then 2. Re8+ leads to mate. So the knight drops on move .2	_____	2W0296 1. Bxc6 wins at least two pawns. if bxc6 then 2. Qxc6+ forks the king and the rook. Otherwise if 1. ... Nd7 2. Bxb7 picking up a second pawn.
2W0297 1. Rc8 wins the bishop on d8. The immediate threat is 2. Nf6+. If 1. ... Re7 2. Rxd8 wins. If instead 1. ... Kg7 2. Rb8 wins the bishop	_____	2W0298 Although 1. Nc6+ is good, much better is 1. Qxd7+ which mates on move 2. I.E. 1. ... Qc7 2.Qxc7 mate! Or if the king moves then 2. Qb7 mate!
2W0299 [solution]	_____	2W0300 [solution]      [Next]
2W0301 [solution]	_____	2W0303 [solution]      [Next]
2W0299 1. Bd3 (only safe square for the bishop. ) and white wins because the black bishop can't espape attack on move 2. if 1. ... Rc3 2. Ke2 wins.	_____	2W0300 1. Rxb6! Qxb5 (not axb6 Qa6 mate) 2. Rxb5 Rxd4 and white is up a pawn when he was losing before. The pawn advantage should be enough to win
2W0301 1. Qf3!! (NOT 1. Qf4 Qb3!) and black must give up something to prevent Qf8 mate. Probably 1. ... Rxe4 2. Rxe4 and white's position is still winning.	_____	2W0303 1. Rd1 and the bishop on d4 can't be protected. If it moves white has 2. Nf6+ winning the Queen on d7. (Note that the Rook on d1 will be attacking it.)
