White to move. How should White proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Rxf7+ Kxf7 Rf1+ and wins Black’s Queen.
Pretty obvious.
1. Rf7 Kf7
2. Rf1 wins the queen for a rook.
1. Rxf7+ Kxf7
2. Rf1+
1-0
Rxf7+ Kxf7
Rf1+
Rxf7!
R*f7 ..nice move
1. Rxf7+ Kxf7 2. Rf1+ should win the queen
R#f7 check followed by Rf1 check looks pretty clean to me.
1. Rxf7+ (1. … Kxf7 2. Rf1+)
Rxf7+ wins the queen, I think, after Kxf7 and Rf1+
Rxf7+ KxR
Rf1+ wins the lady.
Brit-Mate
Rxf7
Rxf7!
My first thought was Rbd1 with an invasion threat on d8 (…a6 is met by Qd8 QxQ RxQ Ke7 RxR axB).
Then I figurred that Rxf7 Kxf7 Rbf1 winning the Q for R ws … a bit better.
R:f7+
Rxf7+ Kxf7 Rf1+ Qf6 exf6 gg
1.Rxf7+ Kxf7 2.Rf1+ then if K moves then 3.Qxe7 then mate a few more moves. if 2…Qf6 then 3.exf6 and black must might as well resign.
1. Rxf7+ Kxf7 2. Rf1+ wins the Queen.
Tommy K. says:
1.Rxf7+ Kxf7 (if Kg8 then Qxe7)
2.Rf1+ Kg8 or Kg6
3.Qxe7
or Qf6
3.exf6
