oh. also i just realized Nc6 means Qxc6 anyway.
CANDIDATES
Nc4/d3/f3 and dxc
right answer, don't open
Bg5
I saw what StarV posted and it actually works.
no one’s going to find that in a tournament game though at this position
I don’t know why it works, I just assumed Ellibereth was a lichess puzzle generator and used the same principles → Find the obvious plan → Find the piece that prevents that plan from working → Resolve that problem in the only way available.

titled players have gotten it wrong, usual wrong solution was dxc5 Bxc5 Nd3 with a few lines that they thought lead to positional edge (but computer has silly equalizers in some lines).
I saved squirrel and id do it again

Let it be known, that I solved a puzzle that Elli thinks is difficult in the span of 5 minutes.
having negative chess understanding apparently makes candidate move exercises easier haHAA

GG everyone.
Thanks for the game star. Interesting mechanic.
Now make it as an open

It’s not negative understanding… It’s understanding basic tactics & material value, and having no knowledge of positional play. To me, it looks like there are no viable moves, and the move I proposed allows counterplay if Black takes the knight which is the piece I associated the most value to in a puzzle context for solving.
it’s negative understanding because it leads to you making horrible moves more often than not yeah.
I need to try to re-work a couple mechanics in these closed games and try them as open set ups.
