  1. Nf6+ Rxf6 2. Qd7+ Ke5 (2… Rd6 3. Qf5+ Kc4 4. Qc2+ Kd5 5. Qb3+ Kc5 6. Qxg8+-) (2… Kc4 3. Qd3+ Kc5 4. Qd4#) 3. Qd4+ Kf5 (3… Ke6 4. Qc4+ Ke7 5. Qxg8+-)
  4. Qe4+ Kg5 5. Qg2+ Kh6 6. Qxg8+-

  Voila! Took me 5 minutes. Make them harder Susan!

  My first intuition appears correct. 1Nf6 Rf6 2Qd7 then

  A)2…Kc4 3Qd3 Kc5 4Qd4#

  B)2…Kc5 3Qd4#

  C)2…Rd6 3Qf5 Kc4 4Qc2 Kb3 5Qb3 wins

  D)2…Ke5 3Qd4 Kf5 (3…Ke6 4Qc4 wins) 4Qe4 Kg5 5Qg2 wins

  Yes, in the same theme: bQ undguarded, bR blocks bK’s options again.
  I wonder which book or collection these are from: could we have an acknowledgement of sources please.
