For the second anonymous: 3.Qxe8 is NOT mate. what about 3… Rf8
Then what? Perpetual check I guess is a sort of “hold the position”, but I prefer the mate.
I am a fan of #1 and my comment. I am not a fan of A & B involving the dubious 1. …Kh8?!
A
1. Qe6+ Kh8
2. Nf6+ gxh6
3. Nh5 Rfe8??
4. Qf6+ Kg8
5. Qg7#
B
1. Qe6+ Kh8
2. Ng5+ gxh6
3. Qxh6 Kg8
4. Qh7#
C
This one is ridiculous, probably because I’m tired.
1. Qe6+ Rf7
2. Nf6+ gxf6?
3. Rg6+ Kh8
4. Qe3 Rh7
5. Rxf6 Qc7
6. g3 Rd3??
7. Qe8+ Kg7
8. Qg6+ Kh8
9. Rf8#
#1 above,
1. Qe6+ Rf7
2. Qe8+; More likely, Rxe8
3. Rxe8+ Rf8
4. Rxf8#
…but yours is still pretty 🙂
#2, kerry is correct, 3. …Rf8 and perpetual check.
I think it took me an hour to edit this post. Good grief!
Qe6+ is mate in 3, but Ng5 is
also winning:
1. Ng5 Rf6
(… Rfe8 2. Qf7, and
other moves: Qh7 mate)
2. Qh7+ Kf8
3. Qh8 mate
