Nice exercise for a saturday morning.
1. Bxe5+, Rxe5 (or dxe5) 2. Qf6+, Kg8 3. Rg1+, Kf8 (Rg5 is mate in 6: 4. Rxg5+ 5. Qd6+ 6. Rg8#) 4. Q(x)d6+!, Re7! 5. Qh6+, Ke8 6. Rg8+, Kd7 7. Qc6#
Nice maneuvers but not hard to calculate as soon as you find out that there is onlay one beginning.
1.Bxe5 dxe5 2.Qf6 Kg8 3.Rg1 Kf8 4.Qd6 Ke8 5.Qh6 Ke8 6.Rg8 Kd7 7.Qc6#
After 1…Rxe5 white can mate the same way. The 4 Queen checks along the 6th rank are nice 🙂
Kind regards,
