“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

dxc5
1. dxc5+ discovered check winning the queen
If Kg8 then cxd6, if Qe5 then Qxe5+
By itself, dxc5 can be met with d4 by black, which blocks the check and attacks the white queen. My take:
1. Bxa6 Nxa6
(sacs the bishop to open up the e file for the rook and move black’s knight to a square where it’s not doing much. I would argue this is necessary to force black’s Qd7 move below. Otherwise, the knight will not have some threats available to force the black queen to that square).
2. dxc5 c4
3. Nxc4 Qd7 (or Qf4).
4. Nxe6+ Kg8
5. Nxf8 Rxf8
White gives up a bishop and a knight but gets a bishop, a rook and two pawns.
Any way to avoid losing white Queen?
1. dxc5 Kg8 or d6 (either, but not Qe5…)
2. cxd6 (exposing c3!) c8xc3
3. bishops traded, or a d7 threat with Nd5, etc., but what real material win?
