I was looking at the fork of the bishop and rook. Be2 solves the problem briefly. I think intuitively I recognized the potential problems on the h1-a8 diagonal. I won a game last knight because my opponent missed a long distance check on a diagonal.</p> I didn’t even consider Qe4 and it wasn’t because of the counter pin.

That does seem to deal with the Bf3 problem, and also avoids Bxf4 which I missed in my answer.</p> Why am I not in bed???
