  Yeah, I went with Nf7+ only to find myself looking at what I should have played for the first move, Qxd4+

    The clue lies with P at g5. Why is it there? Not to participate in mate but just to support N. Why does N need support?because it will be attacked by black K.Then it should remain where it is guarding e4 and d5 squares. rest will be clear.

  When I first posted here mine was the first.Quite possible since Sanson’s was almost at the same time and was not made public by the host But I saw next mine was first and Karthik’s was second. After more than a day Sansons’s came as first. What is the mode of publication? Is it region wise first and then global.
