Hello Chris,
I am not saying dxe6 is wrong or even that Qxa8 is wrong, I am only noting the
Queen move is risky!

Thanks Richard, that is one move I did overlook!
Glad I am not playing that game, smiles!
So I am assuming that my first suggestion dxe6 is also not correct?
Back to the drawing board, smiles.

Hello Chris,
Take a look at my comment to Edward regarding the Qxa8 move as part of both
your solutions.

Hi Richard and all,
Okay, here would be my first choice:
1. dxe6
This opens up the d file for the white rook, plus advances your pawn to
threaten the black pawn on f7 and possibly the black queen, while your queen is
still threatening the white rook trapped on a8.
A possible senario might be:
1. dxe6 fxe6
2. Qxa8 Bc7
3. Qc6...
I know there is several senarios depending on the choices black makes.
My second choice would be:
1. Qxa8
