R-d8 with mate to follow.
R-d8 with mate to follow.
White’s position looks hopeless unless there’s a miracle which I don’t see.
Rd8+ Qxd8
Qe6+ Kh7
Rxh6+ gxh6
Qf7#
-Anand
1. Rd8 Qxd8 2. Qe6+ Kh7 3. Rxh6+ gxh6 4. Qf7x.
No, it’s not a computer line, I am 2350 FIDE 🙂
easy… Rd8+
I cannot see a win for white, but probably they can make a draw:
1. Rd8+ Qd8 2. Qe6+ Kh7 3. Qf5+ Kg8 4. Qe6
1)Rd8+ Qxd8 2)Qe6+ Kh7 3)Rxh6+ gxh6 4)Qf7 mate
1. Rd8+ Qxd8
2. Qe6+ Kh7
3. Rxh6+ Kxh6
4. Qf7#
1.Rd8+ Qd8 2. Qe6+ Kh7 3. Rh6+ pxr Qf7 mate
after the rook sac and q chk, then Rh6+!
h
1. Rd8+ Qxd8 *
2. Qe6+ Kh7
3. Rxh6+ gxh6
4. Qf7#
* or if
1. …. Kh7
2. Qd3+ g6
3. Qxg6#
Rd8+ Qxd8
Qe6+ Kh7
Rxh6+ gxh6 (forced)
Qf7# …nice
There *is* a miracle: White’s moves Rd8+, Qe6+, Rxh6+, and Qf7 mate is the main line.
I saw this after a few seconds:
1 Rd8+ Qxd8 (1 .. Kh7 2 Qd3+)
2 Qe6+ Kh7
3 Rxh6+! gxh6
4 Qf7#
1) Rd8;
If 1) … Qd8
2) Qe6; Kh7
3) R:h6; g:h6
4) Qf7#
If 1) … Kh7
2) R:h6; g:h6
3) Qe7; Kg6
4) Rc6; Qe6
5) R:e6#
3.rxh6 kxh6
4.qf7#
1.Rd8+! Qxd8 [deflection]
2.Qe6+ Kh7
3.Rxh6+ gxh6 [sac]
4.Qf7#
Man, that is pretty.
Beelze
The first thing that occurs to me is 1. Rd8+ Qxd8 2. Qe6+ Kf7 3. Rxh6+ gxh6 4. Qf7#
Black can divert by not taking the first rook, but then Qd3+ brings mate on g6.
First of all i beg my pardon for being late in wishing a happy birthday, ok, well… now it’s time to wish
Happy UnBirthday!
The solution is
1. Rd8+ .. Qxd8
2. Qe6+ .. Kh7
3. Rxh6+ .. gxh6
4. Qf7#
All moves by Black are forced.
Yup.. Draw is what white can play for here…
1. Rd8+ Qxd8
2. Qe6+ Qh7
3. Rxh6 gxh6
4.Qf7#
1.Rd8+ Qxd8 2.Qe6+ Kh7 3.Rxh6+! gxh6 4.Qf7++
its fairly simple the move to Rd8+ followed by check by white queen on d-h diagonal and black is lost ..!
1. Rd8+ Qxd8
2. Qe6+ Kh7
3. Rxh6 gxh6
4. Qf7#
1. … Kh7
2. Qd3+ f6
3. Rf7#
1. Rd8+ Qd8
2. Qe6+ Kh7
3. Rh6 gh6
4.Qf7#
