1. f6 Qh5+, so
1. Re1 QxR 2. f6, and mate follows on g7
1. Re1 Qb7 f6
that should be Qb8, not b7
1.Re1 f6 2.Rxe5 Rxe5 3.gf hg 4.Qxg6+ Kf8 5.Qxf6+ Ke8 6.Qxe5+
1.Re1 f6 2.Rxe5 Rxe5 3.fg Re7 4.gh+ Rxh7 5.Qg6+ Rg7 6.Qxf6 and wins.
4 … Rxh7 pins the white queen. 🙂
Not doing too well 1.Re1 f6 2.Rxe5 Rxe5 3.fg Re7 4.gh+ Rxh7 pins White’s Queen. 4.Qd2
How about
1.Re1 f6 2.Rxe5 Rxe5 3.fg Re7 4. Qh5
4. .. hxg7 5. Qxg7+ etc.
4. .. Rd7 5. Qf5 ( … Rd6 6. hxg7+)
How about 3.g4?
What about immediate 1.Re1 f6 2.fxg6 ?
Harry shows below how good Professor Bhat’s 1.Re1 f6 2.fxg6! is instead of my simplistic automatic capture.
Black also has other options after 1.Re1. I think White still wins, but it needs more of a demonstration than yet offered.
1. Re1. f6. 2. fxg6.
A- 2…..Qxe1. 3. Qxh7+. Kf8. 4. Qf7#
B- 2…..hxg6. 3. Qxg6+.
B1- 3…..Kh8. 4. Rxe5. Rxe5. 5. Qxf6+ and 6. Qxe5 wins (if 4…..fxe5. 5. Qxe8+ wins)
B2- 3…..Kf8. 4. Rxe5. Rxe5. 5. Qxf6+ and 6. Qxe5 wins (if 4…fxe5. 5. Qd6+ and 6. Qxd5 and WQ will win the disjointed a, c and e pawns.)
C- 2…..Re7. 3. Rxe5.
C1- 3…..Rxe5. 4. Qxh7+ and 5. Qf7#
C2- 3…..fxe5. 4. Qg5!! And black collapses.
C21- 4…..hxg6. (Or any pawn move) 5. Qxe7 wins
C22- 4….Rg7. 5. Qd8#!
C23- 4….Rd7. 5. gxh7+. Kxh7 else queens or mates. 6. Qf5+ and 7. Qxd7 wins
C24- 4….Rc7. 5. Qd8+ and 6. Qxc7 wins

C251- 6. …Kh8/g8. 7. Qc8+ and 8. Qxb7 wins
C252- 6…..Kg7. 7. Qxe5+ And 8. Qxd5 wins
C253- 6…..Kh6. 7. Qxe5 and pawns fall like 9 pins.
C26- 4….Ra7. 5. gxh7+. Kxh7. 6. Qxe5 and pawns fall like 9 pins.
C27- 4….Re8. 5. gxh7+. Kxh7. 6. Qh5+ and 7. Qxe8 wins
