White mates with 1.Qh7+ Kxf6, 2.Re6+ followed by 3.Qxg6+. Phil
Qh7+ forces mate in 4
this is straightforward:
1. Qh7+ Kxf6
2. Re6+ Kf5
3. Qxg6+ Kf4
4. g3+ Kf3
5. Qg4#
if 2. … Kg5, then
3. Qxg6+ Kh4
4. Qg4#
if 1. … Kf8, then
2. Qg8#
greets, jan
Obviously white should sac the knight and drag the black king forward, e.g. 1. Qh7+ Kxf6 2. Re6+ Kg5 3. h4+ and black gets mated.
Just put the king into check every move till the end 🙂
1. Qh7+ Kf8 2. Re8# or
1…Kxf6 2.Re6+ Kf5 3.Qxg6+ Kf4 4.Re4#
Giving up the knight might work as it forces the black king into the lion’s den, and those are hungry lions:
1. Qh7 Kf6 (Kf8 2.Qg8#)
2. Re6 Kf5
3. Qg6 Kf4
4. Qg4#
At move 2, black is still mated with Kg5:
2. …..Kg5
3. Qg6 Kh4/f4
4. Qg4#
