Hi Chris,

I can not argue as you have the official answer from the webpage.

But look over Paul's analysis and why the white a-pawn should be on a3.

  Hi Richard and all,

  I must admit that this problem gave me some problems.
  As always, there is more than one choice, and I had a harder time for some 
reason determining which one would be the best move.
  So whether or not I am right, I will be looking forward to Paul's analysis.

  This is what I think the best move scenario is:

  1. Nxd6  Nxd6
  2.   Qxc6 threatening Blacks bishop
  Black could respond with one of a few different moves, then white would,
  3. Qxd6  Qxd6
  4. Rxd6

  White ultimately winning the exchange.

  Chris
