  i looked at the position for about a minute. now im gonna try to solve this without looking at the position. let’s see how i do. i got in my head.

  1. qf7 kg5
  2. f4+ exf4
  3. Qxf4+ Kg6
  4. Bf7+ Kg7
  5. Qf6+ Kf8
  6. Bg6+ Kg8
  7. Qf8 mate

  ok hmmm 2…exf4 must not be the best resistance

  1. qf7 kg5
  2. f4+ Kh6
  3. Qf6+ Kh7
  4. Qe7+ Kg6
  5. Qg5+ Kh7
  6. Be4+ Kh8
  7. Qh6+ Kg8
  8. Bd5+ Ne6
  9. Bxe6 mate. this must be it.

  I arrived at the same position but slightly differently

  1.Qf7+ Kg5
  2. f4+ Kh6
  3.Qf6+ Kh7
  4.Qe7+ Kh6/g6
  5.Qg5+ Kh7
  6.Be4+ Nf5
  7.Bf5+ Kh8
  8.Qh6+ Kg8
  9.Be6

  funny how hard these attacks are to figure out, without real pieces to move

  I just keep checking him. first try was mate in 4. 2nd try was mate in 9. I think black is doomed to constant checks.
