White to move. How should White proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
1.Nf5, e6xN
2.e4xf5, idea Rxe8 and Qg7++
if 2…g6 3.f5xg6,hxg6
4.Qg6+
As far as I see 1.Nf5 exf5 2.exf5 (threat Rxe8) Ne5 3.Rxe5 dxe5 4.Bxg7 Nxg7 5. f6 Bxf6 6.Nxf6 Kh8 7.Qh4 h5 8. Nxh5 Nxh5 9. Qxh5 and white brings out his rook to mate. If u see any mistake, please point out.
Sorry. I missed Bf5 in response to Qh4. So the proper continuation should be something like Rxd7 after instead of Qh4. But I cannot see a clear way to continue after that.
I think it is Rxd7 Q– Qh4! h5 Qg5! and white mates
1. Qxg7+ Nxg7
2. Resigns.
