  Beautiful puzzle.

  1.Rxg7+!!

  [1.Qh6?! Qf8 2.Nh4 Kg8 3.Nxg6! Bxh6 4.Nxf8 (4.Rh8+ Kf7 5.Nxf8 Bxf8 6.g6+ Kg7 7.Rh7+ Kxg6 8.Rxd7 and black is fine.) 4…Bxf8 5.Rxd7 Nb5±]

  1…Kxg7
  2.Qh6+ Kg8

  [2…Kf7 3.Qh7+ Kf8 (3…Ke8 4.Qxg6+ Ke7 5.Qg7+ Ke8 6.Nxe5 dxe5 7.Bh5+ and mate.) 4.Nh4 Be8 5.Qh8+ Kf7 6.Nf5!+-]

  3.Qxg6+ Kf8
  [3…Kh8 4.Nxe5 dxe5 5.Qxb6]

  4.Nxe5 dxe5

  [4…Qe7 5.Nxd7+ Qxd7 6.Bb2 and the two bishops have the talk. 6…axb3 7.Qh6+ Kg8 8.Qh8+ Kf7 9.Bh5+ Ke7 10.Qf6#]

  5.Qxb6+-

  I haven’t the faintest idea. Can you install a Rybka next to the diagram, so when we press a button, we can see what it helps us to think?

  What if,
  1. Rg7 Kg7
  2. Qh6 and … Kf7
