1.Qxg7+ Rxg7
2.Rf8+ Rg8
3. Either rook takes g8 mate
Have to cover g8-square twice, and g6-rook covers it, but h6-queen doesn’t, so Queen takes:
1. Qxg7+ Rxg7 2. Rf8+ Rg8 3. either Rxg8#
1. Qxg7+ Rxg7
2. Rf8+ Rg8
3. R(either)xg8 mate
1. Qxg7+ Rxg7
2. Rf8+ Rg8
3. R(either) g8 mate
1. Qxg7+ Rxg7
2. Rf8+ Rg8
3. R(either) g8 mate
1. Qxg7+ Rxg7
2. Rf8+ Rg8
3. R(either) g8 mate
Isn’t this just a mate in 3
Qxg7+ Rxg7 Rf8+ Rg8 Rgxg8# (or Rfxg8#)
