    1.Ng5 threatening instant mate by 2.Rxh7 forces 1… Re7 which is met by 2.Rxe7 and black has to play 2… Nxe7 losing Q and getting mated in 3 further moves.

    Ng5 and black cannot avoid being mated.

    1.Ng5! N cannot be captured as BQ is pinned.W threatens Rxh7#.
    1….Qxc3 does not prevent 2.Rxh7#
    1…..Nh6 allows 2.Qxf6+.Kg8.3.Qg7#
    1…..Nf7 allows 2.Qxf6+. Kg8.3.Qf7+.Kh8.4.Qxh7#
    1…..Re1+ allows 2.Kh2.Qe5+.3.Qxe5+.Rxe5.4.Rh8#
    1…..Re7 allows 2.Rxe7! Followed by one of first three variations above!
    Other 1… Any Moves 2.Rxh7#/Rh7#
