Puzzle #42: White to Play; White to Tinue

Hello all!

I logged on to Playtak on Thanksgiving and found a new bot in the list (TakkenBot). Decided to give it a try. The evaluation seems a bit different than other bots, so it made for some interesting play.

At this point in the game, I thought this was going to end up as a Gaelet game. So, I was cashing in on some of my flat count differential options. I had just done 2b2-' to swing the flat count in my favor and force Black to capture. Black responded with d2-, leaving us with this week's puzzle.

Enjoy!

Puzzle #40: Black to Play; Black to Tinue

Hope everyone has had happy Takking the past week!

I'm a little late in posting this puzzle, as I was out of town this past weekend. I will also be gone this coming weekend. So, I decided to post two puzzles from the same game to span both weekends. A lot of times in blitz games you miss Tinue opportunities. But, sometimes, another one is right around the corner...
