  Yes it’s very nice how the king is invited to make a journey into white’s camp 1.Qxh7 KxQ 2.Ng6 KxN 3.f5 Kg5 4.Nf3
  It seems to be from a practical game but it’s like a study, no less than 6 pieces are working together for the mate plus the 2 sacrified

  Hi Susan:

  First of all, happy holidays from Puerto Rico.

  1. Qxh7+, Kxh7
  2. Ng6+ [if Kg8, then Rh8#], Kxg6
  3. f5+, Kg5
  4. Nf3#

  Regards,
  Orlando Hernandez

  Here is another puzzle:

  What were the sequence of moves which led to this position ? (Last 2-3 moves suffice)

  Be6-f7 must have been the previous move. hard to guess what happened prior to that
