1. Qxh7+ Kxh7
2. Rh5+ Kg8
3. Ng6 Rf6
4. Rh8+ Kf7
5. Rf8#
Hi Susan:
I’m starting to get addicted to solving these puzzles.
1. Qxh7+ [from this move, the sequence is basically forced] Kxh7
2. Rh5+ Kg8
3. Ng6 [with the thread of mate oh h8] Rf6 [to open space for the King]
4. Rh8+ ! Kf7
5. Rf8# [the Knight is defended by the Rook on g1]
Before finding the solution I was entertaining this idea:
Rxg7+, Rxg7 [forced, if K either h8 or f8, then Rg8#]
Rxg7+ [if Rxg7 (but this one is not forced), then Qe8#]
Regards,
Orlando – Puerto Rico
This one I saw:
Qxh7+ Kxh7
Rh5+ Kg8 Ng6 should end it next after Rh8
Did I get it?
