Hmm Bh6+ etc. looks good.
1. Bh6+ Kg6
(1. … Kxh6
2. Qxf6#)
(1. … Kh8
2. Qxf6+ Qg7
3. Qxg7#)
2. gh+ Kxh6
3. Qxf6+ Kxh5
4. Rh1+ Kg4
5. Rh4#
Was my second guess after 1.Qe3 (I didn’t immediately notice the b6 bishop). Draw the king away from f6 with tempo is the right idea, thus
1. Bh6! Kg6
On Kh6, Qf6 is mate, and Kh8 is after 2.Qf6 Qg7 3.Qg7#. Continuing:
2. gh5
This is probably an only move that doesn’t lose for white considering that he is already down a rook. The checks with the bishop and queen along the b2/h7 diagonal get blocked with e4. Continuing:
2. …..Kh6
3. Qf6 Kh5
4. Rh1 and the mate can only be delayed one move by blocking with Qh3.
1. Bh6+! Kxh6 2. Qxf6# or 1. – Kh8 Qxf6#
Way too hard for a Friday puzzle.
In my opinion 1.Bh6+ wins
In my opinin 1.Bh6+ wins 🙂
It’s so easy to fall in love.
1.Bh6 check and the matt came soon.
2 easy : 1.Bh6 + Kxh6 or other , 2.Qxf6
2 easy : 1.Bh6+ Kxh6 (or other )2. Qxf6 + ”aus die Maus ”
Mate in 3, nice puzzle.
1. Bh6+ Kh8 (..Kxh6 2. Qxf6#)
2. Qxf6+ Qg7
3. Qxg7#
Just Bh6+
