  Except when one is in the curious state of Zugzwang, (fortunately I don’t reside there) it is nice to be the one who has the move.

  1. Nh7+ Rxh7
  (1. .. Ke8 2. Bxc6#)
  2. Qd8+ Kg7
  3. f6+ Kg6
  (3. .. Kh6 4. Qd2+ Kg6 5. Qg5#)
  4. Be4+ Kh5
  (4. .. Kh6 5. Qd2+
  Kh5 6. Qg5#)
  5. Qd1+ Kh6 6. Qd2+ Kh5 7. Qg5#

  Nh7+ Rxh7
  Qd8+ Kg7
  f6+ Kg6
  Be4+ Kh5
  Qd1+ Kh6
  Qd2+ Qe3
  Qxe3 Kh5
  Qg5++

  that took me about 30 seconds.. thats a very simple problem..once the king is trapped its just a simple mating sequence..
