How about:
1) Bf4+ Kh5
2) Rg8
threat
3) g4 mate
1. Bf4+, Kxh5 2. Rg8! seems to win as 3. g4# can’t be prevented without sacrificing the rook.
Best wishes

1. Bf4+ Kxh5 (forced)
2. Rf6
Black can delay, but not avoid, mate from either Rh5 or g4.
1. Bf4+ forces …K:h5, then 2. Rg7 threatens g4# and I see no defense except 2…R:g2 3. K:g2 and wins
Bf4+ Kxh5
Rf6
If black throws away his rook and knight, he can stave off mate for another two moves.

1. Bf4+ Kxh5
2. Rg8 threatening Pg4++ which I think can be prevented only by Black sacrificing his R for White’s NP.
Hi..
I am just a newbie at chess
I saw the earlier problems and saw the solutions as well but couldn’t read the notation..
Can u please explain the notation that you are using here.. or at least give the name of the notation
Bf4+ , king takes pawn, g pawn to 4 mate
1, Bf4+ Kxh5
2, Rg8!
There is no adequate defense for 3. g4#
The only possibility is Rxg2 which obviously loses a piece and the game.
1 Bf4 Kh5 2 Rf6! and Black can not defend against the threats of g4 and Rh6 mate.

8/1P6/8/8/4k1np/8/1B1K2p1/8 w – – 0 1
hey dude is this algebraic notation??
how do u read the above notation ??
Karthik, what is written below the diagramme is not the solution.
It’s an alternative of giving the position, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forsyth-Edwards_Notation.
I hope that helps.

This is FEN notation for describing an existing chess position. You can look up how it works on the web with a search for FEN and chess in your favourite search engine.
