1. R:g8+ Q:g8
2. Qh5+ Qh7
3. Qe8+ Qg8 (all forced)
4. Q:d7 and wins
Craig, you are overlooking 2…Rh7.
I prefer this line
1. f7 Rf7
2. Rf7 Rg6
3. Qd8 Rg8
4. Rh7 Kh7
5. Qh4 I see no way for black to hold against this.
Qf6
CraigB,
Why not 2…Rh7?
1. f7 should win.
1… Rxf7 2. Rxf7 Qxf7 3. Rh6+ wins.
1… Rf8 2. Qf6+ wins.
1… Rxg6 2. f8Q+ wins.
Well, if this comment gets posted before the solution I offered, I would point out that a key is to cut the communication between the black queen and the black rook on the seventh rank. There are two possible moves to do this. One of them is effective.
1. pg7 Rg7
2. Rg7 Qg7
3. Rh6+ Qh7
4. Rh7+ and white wins
1.f7
my first move shud be f7 not pg7; sorry for the mess up.
