could it possibly be Qf6+ followed by Ne8+ with two rooks hanging after the recapture? So then the Q can’t be taken so Kh6 and then Nc7+ and if Kh5 then Rf3 is curtains? I’m not 100pct on the second variation but is that it?

A very poignant, obviously heartfelt, beautifully written and linked piece. I’m so glad that you’ve so articulately shared both in your book “Chess Bitch” and now in your blogs some what you’ve seen and experienced in your travels. Your perspective on how women are treated around the world is a first person narrative that I’d like to see shared more broadly. Thank you for your feminist and human rights advocacy. I can only hope chess will continue to be an avenue for peoples around the world to communicate and get along.
