Hey Dalton, you did it again ;-). I've missed the third position of week 7 in this week's video. Could you add it next week? Or put the right answer in a comment? Thanks!
I don't know how I keep messing that up haha. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll add it in the video next week but I can also give the answer here:
1. Nd7 (forking rook and b6-pawn) 1...Rc6 2. Nb8 (forking rook and a6-pawn) 2...Rc8 3. Nxa6 Ra8 4. Nb4 Bc3 5. Nc6+ Kf6 6. a4 and White is able to win black's a-pawn and keep their own a-pawn alive. If 1...Ra5 2. a4 b5 3. Nb8! threatens an unstoppable fork/attack on black's rook that is trapped on a5.
Thanks! And darn, got it wrong (or rather, I totally missed the fork) ;-)
