3. Qe8+ , Qg8
4. Qxg8#
Greetings from Spain
1.Rf8+ Qxf8 2.Qxe5+ Qg7 3.Qe8+ Qg8 4.Qxg8#
Rf8+ Qxf8, Qxe5+ Qg7, Qe8+ and mate to follow
Rf8 QxR
Qxe5+ Qg7
Qe8+ Qg8
QxQ++
1. rf8+ Qf8, 2. Qxp + Qg7 3. Qe8, Qf8
4.Qxf8 mate
1.Rf8+! Qxf8
2.Qxe5+ Qg7
3.Qe8#

Qe5+ Drawing
1. Rc8+
2. Q:e5+
3. Qe8+
4. Q:g8#
this is quite simple:
1. Rf8+ Qxf8
2. Qxe5+ Qg7
3. Qe8+ Qg8
4. Qxg8#
if 2. … Qf6
3. Qxf6#
greets, jan
Sack the rook with Rf8+. This displaces the queen, so that after …Qxf8; Qxe5+, Qg7; Qe8+ wins, with QxQ mate next move.
1. Rf8+ Qxf8
2. Qxe5+ Qg7
3. Qe8+ wins the black quenn and then game for white.
I think 1. Rf7 is also possible
if 1. … QxR then 2. BxQ with mate next. Any other queen move would be followed by 2. Qxe5 winning.
lol, nvm. didn’t see the obvious QxQ. D:
