If Black plays:
1... Nxf4

White should probably play:
2. Bxf4
and think about going after that lonely Black Queen over in White's Queenside.

My solution will be posted tomorrow.

  Okay, I didn't look at your answer, I don't remember what you wrote. So the 
answer might be:
  -Nxf4
  2. gxf4 Rxf4++

    Good Evening Puzzlers,

    There was an obvious error in Problem 20 as the White King is in check.  I 
no longer have the book so I am unable to confirm this, but I think I may now 
have the correct setup.  I will confirm that once I get the book from the 
library.

    This problem is from Larry Evans' book "Chess: Beginner to Expert" 
available on tape from your NLS library.  Note the book uses descriptive 
notation not algebraic.

    Problem 20 Revised May 8, 2010:
    I think the Black Pawn at f5 was an error.

    Points 4
