Problem 8: White to move. Here are some choices that don't work:
1. Qb4? Nd5 2. Bxg7+ Kxg7 3. Qd4+ Qf6 4. Rxe7 Nxe7
1. Bxf6? Qxe1+ 2. Qxe1 Rxe1+ 3. Kh2 gxf6
1. Bd6? Qxd6
Keep looking

1.Bc3!! (protects the rook and threatens to go to b4 which is well-guarded. Qd7 2. Bb4 (not 2. Rxe7 Kxe7!) Ng8 with good defense, Black minimizes his losses.
