3W0191 1. Nd4+ If 1. ... Qxd4 2. Bxd4 wins. Note the e pawn is pinned. If 1. ... Kd5 2. Bxf7+ Kxc5 (forced) 3. Ne6+ forks the king and Queen. Yoshi vs Supersnake speed game on the Internet Chess Club.	_____	3W0192 White is so strong on the kingside. The black pieces cannot come to the defense of the king easily. After 1. Rf6!! it is hard to see what white can do to stop Rxh6 (or Qxh6 ) leading to checkmate on move 3.
3W0193 The easiest is 1. Nh7+ Ke7 (instead Ke8 allows Qxg8+) and now 2. Ba3+ and now either 2. ... Ke8 3. Qxg8 mate or black starts giving up his queen and other material to delay mate but eventually he gets mated anyway.	_____	3W0194 1. g3 (to limit the squares of the bishop.) Kf8 2. Nc4 Bb8 3. Rb5 wins a pawn. (if 2. ... Bd4 then 3. Rc7 wins the pawn on a7 after the knight moves) Move like 2. ... Bc3+ 3. Kf1 delay things but don't help much.

3W0195 1. g5! with the indirect attack on h3 by the bishop on e6. If 1. ... Rg3+ 2. Kf2 and black has two pieces hanging. If instead 1. ... Rh5 (pinning the pawn) 2. Rf5 pinning the knight. 2. ... Ke7?? 3. gxf6+	_____	3W0196 1. Qb2+ f6 2. Rxf6 forced resignation. White threatens 3. Rxf8 mate so if 2. ... Kg7 then at the very least white has Rf5+ winning the blackqueen but he can also play for mate with moves like 3. Rxg6+ eventually leading to mate.
3W0197 The easy way is 1. c7! Now if either piece captures white wins a piece. If instead 1. ... Re8 2. Rxe5! wins a pieces because if 2. ... Rxe5 3. c8=Q. I have determined that 1. Rxe5!! and 1. a5 also work, but they are more complex.	_____	3W0198 1. Bxe7 and then 2. exd6 wins at least a pawn because if black takes the pawn on move 2 then 3. c5 with a fork. If Black doesn't take the pawn on d6 then white will follow with 3. c5 and have a protected passed pawn shoved down black's throat.
3W0199 [solution]	_____	3W0200 [solution]      [Next]
3W0199 1. Qd5+ and now if 1. ... Ke8 then 2. Qxc6+ so instead 1. ... Kf8 2. Rxe7 and now if Kxe7 3. Qxc6 wins the knight so instead if 2. ... Nxe7 3. Qa8+ skewers the king to the rook on h8. 1. h5 is interesting but I am not sure that it is sound.	_____	3W0200 1. Nd5 and the queen must move. Now if 1. ... Qe6 2. Nxc7 forks the pieces. If instead 1. ... Qd7 2. exd6+ and now lose a piece with Be7 or 2. ... Kd8 3. dxc7+ wins the queen. If instead 1. ... Qd8 2. exd6+ and 3.Nxc7+
