Daily Chess Improvement: Practical Middlegame Tactic Chess tactic, Puzzle Solving White to move. How should white proceed? Source: ChessToday.net
1. Rg4 Qd5 2. Rxg7+ Kh8 3. Rg8+ Kxg8 4. Rg1+ Bg3 5. Rxg3+ Qg5 6. Rxg5#
1. Rg4 Qxe2 2. Rxg7+ Kh8 3. Rg8+ Kxg8 4. Rg1+ Bg3 5. Rxg3#
so,
1 … Qf4 2. Rxg7+ Kh8 3. Rg4+ f6 4. Rxf4 Bxf4 5. Qxe6 Bh6 (… Bg5 6. h4) 6. Bxf6+ Rxf6 (… Bg7 7. Bxg7+ Kxg7 8. Rg1+ Kh8 9. Qe5+ Rf6 10. Qxf6#) 7. Qxf6+ Bg7 8. Qe7 with a huge material advantage.
Also,
1 … Qf4 2. Rxg7+ Kh8 3. Rxf7+ e5 (… Kg8 4. Rg1+ ) 4. Rxf4 Rxf4 5. Bxe5+ Kg8 (… Bxe5 6. Qxe5+) 6. Bxf4 Bxf4 7. Qc4+
Probably best for black after 1.Rg4 is 1. ….Qxc3. I can see a way for black to gain an exchange, maybe, with 2. …Ba3, but in the end, white will still be up a queen for a rook at best and completely lost.
Black is completely lost, that is.
Karthik,
In your last post,
1…..Qf4. 2. Rxg7+. Kh8. 3. Rxf7+. (Kg8. 4. Rg1+. Kxf7!. but still..5. Rg7+. Ke8. 6. Qxe6+. and mate next move by 7. Qxe7#/Qd7#
