White is winning.
1. g6!! fxg6
(else Ra8+ checkmate)
2. Kf6 1-0
(White mates soon. For instance:
2. … Bd5
3. Kxg6 Nc2
4. h7+ Kh8
5. Rd7 Bf7+
6. Rxf7 a1=Q
7. Rf8+ checmkate)
1. g6 fxe6 (forced; otherwise Ra8#)
2. Kxg5 anything
3. Rxa2
White eliminates pawn that is close to queening and captures Bishop and comes out on top.
G5 g6
1. g6, threatening
2. Ra8+ Bc8
3. Rxc8#
1. … Kf8
2. g7+
2. … Ke8
3. g8=Q#
2. … Kg8
3. Ra8+ Kh7
4. Rh8+ Kg6
5. g8=Q+ etc.
1. … f6+
2. Kxe6 and
3. Ra8#
1. … fxg6
2. Kxe6,
3. Rxa2 and white wins.
1. g6! creates an immediate threat 2. Ra8+ and checkmate in the next move.
To meet this threat Black is forced to open an escape route for his King via 1. … gxf6 (or 1. … f6+). Then White will kill the Bishop on e6 (by 2. Kxe6) and Black’s pawn on a2 becomes unprotected.
The rest is a matter of pure technique.
