Ruy Lopez:Riga Variation[edit]
With her last move White created the dual threats Nxc6 (bxc6 Bxc6+ winning the exchange) and f3. Can either of these still be played?
It turns out that 9. f3 allows perpetual check, as it removes the option of driving away a Black queen from h4 by playing g3.
9. Nxc6 it is, then.
