Rxg7+ Bxg7
Rg1 black can’t do much
Oh 1. Rxg7 followed by 2. Rg1 looks very convincing !
Rxg7+ followed by Rg1 looks pretty convincing. Phil
Rg1 x g7
1.Bb4 to stop cxb2
1. Rxg7 Bxg7
2. Rg1 wins
if 2…. cxb2+ then
3. Kb1 and win
Rxg7 black can not do much
1.Rxg7+ followed by 2.Rg1 and black is toast.
Rxg7+ Bxg7 followed by Rg1 and mate soon follows.
1.Rxg7 followed by Rg1 and I don’t think Black can stop the mate on g7.
I don’t see how Black lives after:
1. Rxg7+ Bxg7 (forced)
2. Rg1
if 2 … cxb2+
3 Kb1
how does Black prevent Qxg7mate
Rxg7+ Bxg7 Rg1 looks conclusive. if cxb+Kb1
1. Rxg7+ was the first move I looked at, and sure enough after 1. … Bxg7 22 Rg1 black cannot stop mate, only postpone it for a couple of moves with a check and futile material sac.
1. Rg7 Bg7
2. Rg1 cb
3. Kb1 and the game should be over.
Rxg7 leads to a forced mate in five for White!
Your problem is you copy what your computer program tells you. But it counted wrong. After Rxg7 it is mate in 4. Black replys Bxg7 and we have
1. Rg1 cxb2+
2. Kb1 Bg4
3. Rxg4 any
4. Rxg7#
If you stop using a computer program you might learn to play chess.
