Looks simple:
1. Qg7+ Qxg7
2. Rc8+ Rd8
3. Rxd8+ Qf8
4. Rxf8++
Seems pretty straightforward:
1. Qg7 Qg7
2. Rc8 Rd8
3. Rd8 Qf8
4. Rf8#
a nice lil queen sacrifice …
white plays Qg7+
1)Qg7+, Qxg7
2)Rc8+ and black can’t escape the mate
Qg7+ Qxg7, and Rc8+.
After Rd8 and Qf8, the rook will mate on f8.
1.Qg7+ followed by 2Rc8+ looks extremely convincing. Phil
A noble woman, as usual, is the one called upon to sacrifice herself in a dramatic manner, all to remove
her counterpart’s defence of the crucial d8-square.
1. Qg7+ Qxg7
2. Rc8+ Rd8
3. Rxd8+ Qf8
4. Rxf8#
Grin-meister Lenya
Qg7+ followed by R check
Qg7+ QxQ
Rc8+ Rd8
RxR Qf7
RxQ#
This time I should have it right:
1.Qg7+ Qxg7 2.Rc8+ Rd8 3.Rxd8+ Qf8 4.Rxf8#
As long as you don’t get misled by Qd3 (the knight takes with discovered check), this is pretty simple- just divert the black queen from d8:
1. Qg7 Qg7
2. Rc8 with mate to follow.
Fast and furious. 🙂
1. Qg7+ Qxg7
2. Rc8+ Rd8
3. Rxd8+ Qf8
4. Rxf8#

1.Qg7+! Qxg7 2.Rc8+ Rd8 3.Rxd8+ Qf8
4.Rxf8#.
1.Qc8+ instead doesn’t work because of Rd8.

1.Qg7+ Qxg7
2.Rc8+ Rd8
3.Rxd8+ Qf8
4.Rxf8#
Qh8+ Kxh8 (forced)
Rd8+ Qe8
Rxe8++
1. Qg7+ QxQ
2. Rc8+ Rd8

Hi,
Now many good books are in the market on chess tactics, it actually depends on the level of the players. Solving of chess puzzles develop your skill. Try to learn about important rules, chess etiquette, strategy, openings and endgames. Thanks a lot.
