White to move. How should White proceed?
1kr5/2p5/1pQp3p/r2P2p1/2R2p2/1KR4P/1PP3P1/4qn2 w – – 0 1
Surprise! A queen sacrifice! 1.Qxb6+ cxb6 (or 1…Ka8 2.Qxa5+) 2.Rxc8+ Ka7 (or Kb7) 3.R3c7+ Ka6 4.Ra8+ Kb5 5.c4#
Qxg6+
Sorry, Qxb6+
I see a mate in five. If Black prefers not to take the queen, it turns to mate in only two more moves.
2 rooks + c pawn are enough to mate the king.
