It is a mate in 5 steps
1.Nb5+ cxb5
(1…Kxb8 2.Qd8+ Bc8 3.Qc7+ Ka8 4.Qa7#)
(1…Bxb5 2.Qd8#)
2.Qd8+ Kc6
3.Qb6+ Kd5
(3…Kd7 4.Rd8#)
4.Rd8+ Ke4
(4…Kc4 5.Qd4#)
5.Qd4#
Ne6+
…fx6 (forced)
Qd8++
First time I am reverting, though I have been solving many of your puzzles
Nice one, clean lines.
Ne6
I think Nb5 is the best move, so then Qd8+ and mate in 2.
Ne6, then Kxb8 and black ecsapes
Correct is Nb5+
if Kxb8 then Qd8+ leads to mate
if any x b5 then Qd8 mate.
Ne6, then Kxb8 and black ecsapes
Correct is Nb5+
if Kxb8 then Qd8+ leads to mate
if any x b5 then Qd8 mate.
Ne6, then Kxb8 and black ecsapes
Correct is Nb5+
if Kxb8 then Qd8+ leads to mate
if any x b5 then Qd8 mate.
Ne6, then Kxb8 and black ecsapes
Correct is Nb5+
if Kxb8 then Qd8+ leads to mate
if any x b5 then Qd8 mate.
Ne6, then Kxb8 and black ecsapes
Correct is Nb5+
if Kxb8 then Qd8+ leads to mate
if any x b5 then Qd8 mate.
Ne6, then Kxb8 and black ecsapes
Correct is Nb5+
if Kxb8 then Qd8+ leads to mate
if any x b5 then Qd8 mate.
Nb5+!
Ne6+ will fail with Kxb8 and there is nothing further after that.
I think Nb5+ works, unless I’ve missed something
Nb5+ cxb5
Qd8+ Kc6
Qb6+ Kd5
Rd8+ Kc4 or Ke4
Qd4+
1. Nb5+ Pretty obvious, but after 1. .. cxb5 the mate, in the main line, is not exactly easy to visualize.
(1. .. Kxb8 2. Qd8+ Bc8 (2. .. Kb7 3. Qc7+ Ka8 4. Qa7#) 3. Qc7+ Ka8 4. Qa7#)
(1. .. Bxb5 2. Qd8#)
2. Qd8+ Kc6 3. Qb6+ Kd5
(3. .. Kd7 4. Rd8#)
4. Rd8+ Ke4 (4. .. Kc4 5. Qd4#) 5. Qd4#
after Nb5+, white rook can be taken right…
