    This one is relatively easy.

    2. Qh7 mate

    1, Rh8+ Kxh8
    2, Qh7 mate

    1. Rh8+ Kf7
    2. Qh7+ Qg7
    3, Bg6+ Ke7

    Piece of cake.

    1. Rh8+ Kf7 (1. .. Kxh8 2. Qh7#) (1. .. Kg7 2. Qh7#) 2. Qh7+ Qg7 3. Bg6+ Ke7 4. Qxg7#

  12. Pranav Dandekar Reply

    1. Rh8+ Kf7

    If (1…Kxh8, or 1…Kg7, then 2. Qh7#)

    2. Qh7+ Qg7
    3. Qxh5+ Ke7

    (If 3…Qg6 then 4. Qxg6+ 5. Qe7 Qf6#)

    4. Qh4+ Kf7
    5. Rh7

    If 5…Qxh7 then 6.Qxh7+ Ke8 7. Bg6+ Kf8 8. Qf7#.

    If 5…Rg8 (or something else), then 6. Qf6+ winning queen outright.

    I remember this one well. White’s rook in his queen’s way:

    1. Rh8! Kf7 (Kg7/Kh8 2.Qh7#)
    2. Qh7 Qg7
    3. Bg6! Ke7
    4. Qg7#

    Rh8+ .. followed Qh7#

    1. Rh8+! Kf7
    2. Qh7+ Qg7
    3. Bg6+ Ke7
    4. Qxg7#

    All replies are forced.
