This one is easy. 1 Qg5 Kf8 2. Qf6 gf 3. Rf7 mate
1. Qg5+ Kf8
2. Qf6+ gf
3. Rf7++
I admit I could not see 2. Qf6+!!
I got as far as 1. Qg5+ Kf8 and saw no hope.
good one susan
Pretty easy one, Qg5+ Kf8 Qf6+ gxf6 Rf7#.
Elegant finish, but fairly simple, only took about 10 seconds, most of which was to find Qf6.
Difficult for me… Btw, found a video of Judit in http://www.rokada1.bloger.hr/
This was quite an easy one this time: Qg5 Qf6 and Rf7 mates
Qg5+ Kf8
Qf6+ gxf6
Rf7#
Qf6 was not that obvious from the original position but after playing the first 2 moves it is more clear.
