White to move. How should White proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Ng4 looks winning.
Ng5
Ng5 should do it. Simultaneous threats to the queen and mate, I see no move that parries both threats.
1. Ng5 Qh3
2. Ngf7# or
Sorry I mean Ng5 ealier. with mate on f7 as a threat.
Actually its Ng5!! Very strange move, I saw it “live” on playchess.com 🙂
1. Ng5 does it, threatening the queen capture and Nf7.
1. Ng5
ng5
1.Ng5!! Qxh3 2.Ngf7#
Ng5 is the move because if Qxh3, then Nf7++. And if black’s Queen moves to avoid white’s Queen, then it will have to take the Knight on f7 after Nf7 since otherwise that would be checkmate. Good Move!
