1.Qe6+ Kf4 2.h3 Be4
(2…a1=Q 3.Qg4#)
(2…Kg3 3.Qg4#)
(2…g4 3.Qxg4#)
(2…Qd7 3.Qe5+ Kf3 4.Rf1#)
3.Qxe4+ Kg3 4.Qg4#
Allmost without thinking a played:
1. Qe6+ Kf4
2. Rf1+ Bf3
3. Qxa6
Clearly improving whites badlooking position, but is it enough for a win?
It instantly looks dubious / unclear, so here I started to look for something better, but couldn’t find it…
This is either totally wrong, or it is quite complicated…
Start with 1. Qe5+, and proceed to mate, dancing aound the pawn and avoiding all the other pieces. Fun stuff.
Qe6+ Kf4 (forced)
Rf1++
After 1. Qe6+ Kf4 2. h3 Black cannot meet both mate threats: Qg4#, and Qe5+ followed by Rf1#.
