![]() A clear advantage the Rf8 move gives to black is control over the open f file - as well as putting either the queen or other rook next to the king for defense. Your suggestion of: 1. Qf5 Kf8??? 2. Rc8 does not make sense to me. If the white queen is on f5, then the f8 square is under attack and so the king may not safely move there. Was there a typo in your post? |

Rf8 leads to this exchange of a rook for a queen and black is up 5 points.
1. Qf5 Rf8
2. Qxf8+ Qxf8
If black moves Bg4 as the puzzle expects, I don't see why the queen has to take the bishop. The queen could retreat to f2 instead - and that can lead to an exchange of pawn and queen for rook and knight. A far better outcome than an exchange of queen for bishop.
