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.
