Which of these moves would you choose for White?
Qd1-e2
Qd1-f3

Yes, it's a DISCOVERED CHECK. The Knight move DISCOVERS CHECK by the White Queen and at the same time THREATENS the Black Queen. Black is going to end up a queen for a knight behind. |
Here's your position - what now for White?
Nb1-c3
d2-d3
