White wins!
Rg8+ Kxg8 (only move)
Qg4+ Kf8 (if Kh8 Qg7#; if Qg5 Qxg5+ same problem exists so again Kf8)
Qg7+ Ke8 (only move) then
Qh8# or Qf8#
Excellent! 🙂
Congrats!

Heh, chessdoctor beat me. I’ve learned from these problems that “is White lost?” means “White to mate” 😉
Susan your puzzles are making me strong! haha 1 Rg8+ Kxg8 2 Qg4+ Kf7 3 Qg7+ Ke8 4 Qg8# if 2 Qg4+ Qg5 only prolongs the same mate.

Sorry to say this, but: Too easy!
I saw the solution to this one almost instantly. The really weird part is that I was just reading your book listed two posted above this. Karpov’s introduction had me sold on studying tactics.
