It starts like a French with 1.e4 e6, until 2.f4 makes the f-pawn the story. On move 6 Black’s bishop picks it off with Bxf4.
rnbqk2r/ppp2ppp/5n2/3p4/5b2/2N2N2/PPPPB1PP/R1BQK2R w KQkq – 0 7
Black snagged the f4 pawn with the bishop. Was that poison, or dinner?
Later White’s rook lands on f6. Sit on this board and ask who is hunting whom.
rn3rk1/ppbq1ppp/2p2n2/3p1R2/3P1B2/2NB4/PPP3PP/R2Q2K1 w – – 3 14
Rxf6 is in the air. What happens if Black recaptures? What if they don’t?
I wish you the best of luck!!
