Ng5 wins. The other problem is a bit harder as Ng5 does not work as well.
1.Re8+!
(1.Ng5? fxe3 -+)
Ugh, wrong FEN string. Those of you who have been clamoring for FEN strings to accompany diagrams, consider me converted.
1.Re8+ Kf7[1……Qxe8
2.Rh8 2.Qg7#]
Now white’s planning is
3.Qg7+ Ke6
4.Qe5+ Kf7
5.Ng5#
So if
2……..Qf5
3.Qg7+ Ke6
4.Re8+ Kd6
5.Qe7#
Otherwise,
2……..Rf6
3.Rxh7+ Ke8[If black plays Kf8
4.Qe5+ Kd8 or Kg8, then Rd7
5.Qxf6+ Kc8
6.Rxd7 and then Qb2,Ne5…
Sayan
SORRY, I have done some mistakes in typeing. This one is right.
1.Re8+ Kf7[1……Qxe8;2.Qg7#]
2.Rh8
Now white’s planning is
3.Qg7+ Ke6
4.Qe5+ Kf7
5.Ng5#
So if
2……..Qf5
3.Qg7+ Ke6
4.Re8+ Kd6
5.Qe7#
Otherwise,
2……..Rf6
3.Rxh7+ Ke8[If black plays Kf8 or Kg8, then Rd7]
4.Qe5+ Kd8
5.Qxf6+ Kc8
6.Rxd7 and then Qb2,Ne5…
Sayan
What about Ne5, forking rook and queen, capturing the rook; and when Q recaptures, mate on g7.
1.Ne5 Nb5
2.Qb2 c1=Q
3.Qxc1
leaves Black very much alive, maybe even winning.
1.Re5+! wins outright, as Sayan points out.
