Blackadder, you got it. White is just winning in all variations after the first move.

yes, but I'm actually quite pleased with myself because I managed to accuratly calculate all of that in my head.


okay, most of the moves were forced, but it still required you to vizualise the position several moves ahead. which is something I usually fluff up; make a fatal error 3-4 moves in.
