Default Move 23

An easy move this time?

Not recapturing on f6 now costs a piece, and 23...Bxf6 24.Bxh6 gives away the h pawn.

So is 23...Rxf6, as analysed last move, the only reasonable choice?

EDIT: For a moment I just thought that 23...bxc3 might also be worth considering? But no, it loses a piece to 24.fxe7 because the knight on c6 is then en prise. If 24...Bxd4+ 25.Be3.

I don't see any alternative to 23...Rxf6. :smile:

We carefully analysed this line last move, so I think we can proceed with Rxf6.

I agree with 23...Rxf6 too.

It seems we can play the move already, right?
