1. Qxf5+ Kxf5 2. Bd3 + Kg5 3. Ne6 + Kh5 4. Ng7#
Nh3+ should give white a perpetual.
This is a mating attack starting with the queen sacrifice at f5:
1. Qf5 Kf5
2. Bd3 Kg5
3. Ne6 Kh5
4. Ng7#
Of course given the state of the black king one must immediately examine the forcing move Qxf5+. After Kxf5 Bd3 mates.
1.Qf5 Kf5 2.Bd3 Kg5 3.Ne6 Kh5 4.Ng7#
1.Qxf5 Kxf5 2.Bd3 Kg5 3.Ne6+ Kh5 4.Ng7x
I think Qxf5+ Kxf5, Bd3+Kg5, Ne6++ Kh5, Ng7# is the solution
All white has to do is play like a girl
1.Qxf5+ Kxf5 2.Bd3+ Kg5 and perpetual with Nh3+ and Nf4+.
1. Qxf5+ Kxf5
2. Bd3+ Kg5
3. Ne6++ Kh5
4. Ng7# mate
1. Qxf5 Kxf5
2. Bd3+ Kg5
3. Ne6+ Kh5
4. Ng7#
Qxf5+ Kxf5
Bd3+ Kg5
Ne6+ Kh5
Ng7++
1. Qxf5+!!
All of black’s moves are forced.
2. Bd3+
3. Ne6+
4. Ng7#
Q## takes Bishop and Bd3 mate looks pretty simple to me.
1. Qxf5+ Kxf5
2. Bd3+ Kg5
3. Ne6+ Kh5
4. Ng7#
1.Qxf5 check, KxQueen
2.Bishop d3 check, Kg5
3.Ne6, check, Kh5
4.Ng7 checkmate
1. Qxf5+ Kxf5
2. Bd3+ Kg5
3. Ne6+ Kh5
4. Ng7#
My 10-year old daughter figured it out. 🙂

Sweet greetings

This is queen sacrifice with a cute mate motif.
1.QxB+ KxQ
2.Bd3+ Kg6
3.Ne6+ Kh5
4.Ng7#
Correct me please !! This is mate in four. Q cuts bishop check. King takes queen is forced. Bd3 check. Kg5 is forced. Ne6 check K h5 is forced. Ng7 is mate.
If it is a mate in four, why does white have to “save” the game?
1. Qf5:+
2. Bd3+
3. Ne6++
4. Ng7X
1. Qxf5+ Kxf5
2. Bd3+ Kg5
3. Nd6+ Kh5
4. Nf7#
QxB+ leads to mate after knight moves eventually to G file.
Qxf5+ Kxf5 Bd3+ Kg5 Ne6+ Kh5 Ng7#
easy prob.
