I don't play the Ruy, so now I'm not sure if this is main line or not. |

I'm notating this game after-the-fact for once, and I don't remember what all was happening here. Perhaps I'm trying to get a pawn up on d5. |

He may think my queen's after the pawn, but I've got another idea. He's starting to get fewer pieces on his back row, and I plan to take advantage of that. |

I wanted the queen there. He doesn't see the danger his queen & rook are in. |

Here comes the trap. The best he can do now is to take the pawn. |

Stop here. Do you see White's winning move? |

Here's the Remove the Defender tactic in action.
If he captures the bishop, I play Qe8#. If he moves the queen to d7, then I win a rook |
