I can see it, but...

I don't believe it.

3/14 = 21% ...mighty low...

Is there a theory covering this kind of thing? 🤔

Okay, I tried it again later...

...and couldn't recall the plan.
So this needs an explanation to jog the memory and to aid in future, similar combos.

1. B×f6 (low hanging fruit)...c5
2. Be7 (covers d7, opens e5)...Ke5
3. Bg4 (covers f5, e6)...Ke4
4. Ne8 (leaves f5, e6; ready @ d6)...Ke5
5. Bf6+ (set-up for mate)...Ke4
6. Nd6#

BK was confined to e4 & e5 all the way.
2. Be7 was <Just In Time>.
3. Bg4 got the torch from N w/ f5, e6.

Will that prime the pump? We'll see... 🤠
