rxg6, etc.
{Another piece of cake.} 1. Rxg6+ Kxg6 (1. .. Kh8 2. Qxh5#) (1. .. Kf8 2.Qf2+ Qf3 3. Qxf3#) 2. Qc2+ Kg7 (2. .. Kh6 3. Qh7#) 3. Qh7+ Kf8 4. Qf7#

r:g6 followed by QC@ leads to a mating net. If the king declines on g6…he’s just as dead.
Rg6+ Kxg6
Qc2+ Kg7
Qh7+ Kf8
Qf7++
that took about 5 seconds..
1.Rxg6+ Kxg6
[if 1..Kh8 2.Qxh5#]
[if 1..Kf8 2.Qf2+ Qf3 3.Qxf3#]
2.Qc2+ Rd3
[if 2..Kh6 3.Qh7#]
[if 2..Kg7 3.Qh7+ Kf8 4.Qf7#]

[if 3..Kg7 4.Qh7+ Kf8 5.Qf7#]
4.Qxe4+ Kg7
[if 4..Kh6 5.Qh7#]
5.Qh7+ Kf8
6.Qf7# ..simpler than yesterday’s puzzle! lol
1.Rg6+ followed by 2.Qc2+ black can resign. Black can delay the mate for two moves by interposing a rook and a queen, but delay is all he gets.
1. Rxg6+, Kh8 (taking the rook loses to Qc2+, Kg7; Qh7+, Kf8; Qf7# and Kg8 loses to Qg2#) 2. Qxh5#
Your website is fantastic, great ideas and very professional. TQ
Decisive is queens strong diagonal from c2, that knight is well protected by pawn, and escape via f6 or f7 is closed. This invites to the rook sack:
1. Rxg6+ Kxg6
2. Qc2+ Rd3 (only delay)
3. Qxd3+ Qe4 (only delay)
4. Qxe4+ Kg7 (Kh6 Qh7#)
5. Qh7+ Kf8
6. Qf7#
or
1. … Kf8 (Kh8 Qxh5#)
2. Qf1/Qf2+ Qf3
3. Qxf3#
Mate in 6.
1. Rxg6+ Kxg6
2. Qc2+ Kg7 (Kh6 3. Qh7#)
3. Qh7+ Kf8

1. … Kf8
2. Qf2+ Qf3

1. … Kh8

Hello
1. Rxg6+
3 options for black
A)
1. …, Kh8
2. Nf7#
B)
1. … , Kf8
2. Qf2+, Qf3
3. Qf3#
C)
1. … , Kxg6
2. Qc2+, Kg7 ( if Kh6 3. Qh7#)
3. Qh7+, Kf8
4. Qf7# or Qh8#

Well, let us see:
1. Rxg6+!! Kxg6 (1… Kh8 2. Qxh5# or 1… Kf8 2. Qf2+ Qc3 3. Qxc3#)
2. Qc2+ Kg7 (2… Kh6 3. Qh7#)
3. Qh7+ Kf8
4. Qf7# (or Ne6#)
Black can interpose the Qc2 check twice, once with the rook and once with the queen, but that only extends the checkmate by two moves.
