really beatiful 🙂
answer is 6 move mate at white’s best defence, or 5 move mate in some lines.
1…Qxf1+
2.Bxf1 (forced) Nf2+
(first I thought that 2…Nf3? here with threat 3…Rh2# is deadly, but I can’t allow white’s Rxb8+ and Rh8##
3.Kg1 Nf3+
4.Kg2 Ng4+
5.Be2
(if 5.Kh1 or Kh3,then 5….Rh2#) Rxe2+
6.Kf1
(again if 6.Kh1 or Kh3,then 6….Rh2#) Rf2#

PS:Susan, do you remember me, the email about the translation of your worldch guide to Indonesian language ?
Yep ….Q#f1 is pretty neat.
but the question is…did you actually play it?
haha.

More interesting is how to get into such a position, with so many pieces attacking the king 🙂
