1. Be4 Bf1
2. Rh2 Be2
3. Rh1+ Bd1
4. Rxd1 mate
1. Be4 Bf1
2. Rh2 Bg2! and not mate in four.
Correction :
1. Be4 Bf1
2. Rh2 Bg2
3.Bd3 and mate next move.
However,
1.Be4? Bg2! (not 1…Bf1?)
and this is not mate in 4.
1.Ra6 Bc8
2.Ra5 Sayonara!
Onichi wa
1. Ra6 Bc8
2. Ra5 Bd7
3. ?
(sorry, can’t see further)
1. Rf6 Bg2 (force move)
2 Re6 Bf3 (force move)
3. Re1+ Bd1
4. Rd1++ mate
Hmm, I just saw black’s 3. … Be4! after whites 3. Re6
I think 1. Rf6, Bf5! will take more than four moves…
Also,
1.Rf6? Bf5 doesn’t lead to mate in 4.
So what would possibly be the first move?
The only move to checkmate in 4 is 1. Bh7!
1… Bg2 2. Re6 mates in two.
1… Bf1 2. Rh2! Bg2 3. Bd3!, mates on the next move.
Try 1. Bd3? Bf1!
Try 1. Be4? Bg2!
Try 1. Bf5? Bxf5!
Try 1. Bg6? Bg2!
Try 1. Rf6? Bxf5!
Try 1. Rd6? Bg4!
Try 1. c4? Bg2!
Agreed with Umesh,
1.Bh7!! Bg2
