White to move. How should white proceed?
1. Rc4+ Kxc4 2. Qc3#; 1. … Kd6 2. Qd8#
1. Rc4+! Kc4 2. Qc3#; 1. … Kd6 2. Qd8#
1.Rc4+ and 2.Qd8 mate.
Hirsch
1.Rc4+ and either 2.Qd8 mate or
2.Qc3 mate
Hirsch
Rc4 – actually it is mate in 2.
Rc4+. If KxR, Q c2 ++, or if Kd5, Qd7 ++
I faield’ 35 seconds
1.Rc4. Kd6
(1….Kxc4
2.Qc3++)
2.Qd8++
Another CT-Art classic. And one that really impressed me when I first saw it. Now I see this in a flash.
With the White King so exposed on the dark squares and the light squares so clogged up, the White Queen is itching to set something up. The surprising winning move is:
1.Rc4+!
if 1…Kxc4, 2.Qc3#
and 1…Kd6, 2.Qd8#
Very beautiful!
Cute.
1. Rc4+
If 1… K:c4
2. Qc3#
If 1… Kd6
2. Qd8#
1.Rc4+, Kxc4 2. Qc3++
1 Rc4+ Kc4 (Kd6 Qd8#)
2 Qc3#
Rc4
Rc4 and mate then Q mates in one
tricky but this shud work…
Rc4+ Kxc4 (forced) .. [if Kd6, Qd8 mate!]
Qc3+ check-mate!!
Did you write the answer anywhere?
a) 1.Rc4+ KxR 2.Qc3#
b) 1.Rc4+ Kd6 2.Qd8#
rc4 kill in 2 ways
1. b4+ Nxb4
2. Rc1+ Nc2
3. Rxc2+ Kd6
4. Qd8#
Rc1+..dxc1=Q+
Very Clever means very easy
1. Rc4+!
If 1…Kxc4
then 2. Qc3#
If 1…Kd6
then 2. Qd8#
Very clever indeed.
1.RC4+ Kxc4
2.QC3#
1…Kd6
2.Qd8#
Yes clever tactics!
What about
1.Rc4+ Kxc4 (1.-Kd6 2.Qd8#) 2.Qc3# ?
What about
1.Rc4+ Kxc4 (1.-Kd6 2.Qd8#) 2.Qc3# ?

Mate in 2 with 2 variations is very clever indeed:
1. Rc4! Kxc4
2. Qc3#
1. … Kd6
2. Qd8#
Rc4+
1. b4+ Nxb4
2. Rc1+ – why won’t black do dxc1?
1. Rc4+ Kxc4 (1. … Kd6 2. Qd8#) 2. Qc3#
Rc4+!
Kxc4..Qc3#
If Kd6..Qd8#
1. Rc4+!! Kxc4 (1…Kd6 2. Qd8#) 2. Qc3#
1. Rc4+!! Kxc4 (1…Kd6 2. Qd8#) 2. Qc3#
It’s rather a mate in 2 I think
