    A pretty combination

    Here's a position from 1 of my principally games. White has a winning combination, can you subjectively see what it's?

    3rk2r/pp2bppp/2n5/1B1p4/2pP4/2P2P2/P1P2P1P/R1B1R1K1 w k - 0 15

    And no, I didn't see it myself, and lost .

    Won't that incidentally lose a pawn for nauhgt? 15. Bxc6+ bxc6 16. Ba3 Rd7 17.
    Namely rab1! O-O {forced castling} 18. Bxe7 Rc8 (18...Re8 19. Bc5 Red8 20.
    Re7 Rxe7 21. Bxe7 Re8 22. Re1) It is true and black is down in material and has both rooks in trouble..

    In short that is FEN notation. There is a well descripton at
    http://www.chessville.com/Reference_Center/FEN_Description.htm

    Here is the position in ICS-style ASCII (view with a fixed-width font), white to motion:

    +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ 8 | | | | *R| *K| | | *R| +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ 7 | *P| *P| | | *B| *P| *P| *P| +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ 6 | | | *N| | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ 5 | | B | | *P| | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ 4 | | | *P| P | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ 3 | | | P | | | P | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ 2 | P | | P | | | P | | P | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ 1 | R | | B | | R | | K | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ a b c d e f g h.
