White to move. What is the best continuation for White?
4r3/1p2bkpp/p2pNp2/q4r2/3R4/PQ6/1PP3PP/2K4n w – – 0 1
1.Ng5+ Kf7 2.Qf7+
2…Kxg5 3.Qxg7+ Kh5 4.Qxh7+ Kg5 5.h4
2…Kh6 3.Rh5+ Kxg5 4.Qh5
White has no choices–it is instant loss if there is a move without check.
1. Ng5+ Kf6 {…Ke8 2. Qf7#}
2. Qf7+ Kxg5 {…Kh6 2. Rh4#}
3. Qxg7+ Kh5
4. Qh5+ and perpetual

1. ND8+ KG6
2. Qf7+ Kg5
3. Ne6++
2 … Kh6
3. R-H4

Qf7+ Kg5
Ne6+ Kh6
Q*g7+ Kh5
Q*h7+ Kg5
Qh4#

Qf7+ Kh6 Rh4 Rh5 Ne6
White has no choices–it is instant loss if there is a move without check.
1. Ng5+ Kf6 {…Ke8 2. Qf7#}
2. Qf7+ Kxg5 {…Kh6 2. Rh4#}
3. Qxg7+ Kh5
4. Qh5+ and perpetual
You don’t give yourself enough credit. 1.Ng5+ Kg6 2.Qf7+ Kxg5 3.Qxg7+ Kh5 4.Qxh7+ is a lot better than a perpetual; it’s mate next move.
Only 1) Ng5+! wins with the above-mentioned variation.
At 1) Nd8+ there is the defence 2) Kh6! holding the mate.
