Rf7 (threatning qxh7++). Then if king goes back, qxg6++ else B gives mate. Did I get it first ? 🙂
– Vinay
Right idea but finish it 🙂
Best wishes,

no board, no RAM left in head. I still claim I got the right idea first :))
– Vinay
Pfft, cheater. 😉
1.Rf7 Kxf7 (1…Nf8 2.Nxf8 +-) 2.Qxh7+ Kf6 (2…Ke8 3.Qxg6#) 3.Bc3+ Kf5 4.Qf7+ Kg4 5.Qf3+ Kh4 6.Be1#
Correct?
Which game is this ?

Vinay this is not correct. it does not make sense at all. what does it mean that if the king goes back. we need moves. carefully listed moves.
closer but hard to follow is:

Correct?

I like to list in nice neat columns. easy to follow.
1 Rf7 Bc5+ e7 now escape square
2 Kh1 Kxf7
3 Qxh7+ Kf6
4 Bc3+ Ne5 (Bd4 is nothing.)
now if Qh6 the king escapes by Ke7 so
5 Qg7+ Kf5
6 Qg5+ Ke4
7 Qxe5#
along the lines of Bobby Fischer’s famous quote. black can play differently and lose in a different way.
I think Fischers famous quote was something like
“make a different move and lose a different way.” He had a lot of confidence he was going to win.
here is one example
1 Rf7 Kxf7
2 Qxh7+ Kf6
3 Bc3+ Ne5 here e7 is not available.
4 Qh6+ Kf5 but g5 is not available
5 Qh5 Bg5
6 Qxg5+ Ke4
7 Qxe5#
here if the king tries to return
5 ….. Kf6
6 Bxe5#
or
5 ….. Ke4
6 Qxe5#
people can be picky around here! Ok, next time I shall try to solve it fully.

Vinay – no worries mate. You found the key move, and that is crucial to understanding. My only advice would be to try to simluate a game situation where you think you have found a crushing move and you have to check all the possibilities before you commit.
Rf7 Kxf7 Qxh7+ Kf6 Qg7+ Kf5 Qf7+ Kg4 h3+ Kh4 (Kg3 Qf3+ Kh4 Qg4++) Qf2+ Kh5 Qf5+ Kh4 Qg4++
Sorry, Qg4#
Rf7 Kxf7 Qxh7+ Ke8 Qxg6#
Rf7 Kxf7 Qh7+ kf6 Qg7+ Kf5 Qf7+ Ke5 Qf5#
Is that correct?
If you don’t do 1… Kxf7 here is the mate 1…Qxh7
Black can’t do anything to stop the mate if you do not take the rook on f7
Hi Susan:
First of all, happy new year 2006 !!!
