Hi Susan
1. Re8, Kxe8
2. Qg8, Ke7[ if 2. …, Kd7 3. Qxf7, Kd8 4. Bh4, Qe7 5. Qxe7# Mate]
3. Bh4, Ng5 (3. …, Kd7 4. Qxf7# Mate)
4. Bxg5, Kd7
5. Qf7# Mate
Good day
1.Re8+ Ke8 2.Qg8+ Ke7 [2…Kd7 3. Qf7+ Kd8 4.Bh4+ Qe7 5.Qe7#] 3.Bh4+ Ng5 [3…Kd7 4.Qf7#] 4.Bg5+ Kd7 5.Qf7#
I recommend Bh4. Followed by Bf6. And Qg7#. Have I missed something? Winning with sacrifices may prove risky on occasion.
I prefer the risky sacrifice as 1. Bh4 Nd7 prevents Bf6 and if 2.Re8+ Ke8 3.Qg8+ Nf8 -+
imjp: “winning with sacrifices may prove risky on occasion”
– winning is winning. This is why analysis is important. Sacrifices are only risky if you have not done complete analysis (sometimes that happens over the board when a player ‘feels’ that a sac is correct and decides to complete the analysis on his opponent’s time… 😉
