White to move. How should white proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Very nice! Qg8 and Nf7#.
Qg8, Rxg8 then nd7#
1Qg8+ 2Knight f7 mate
1 Qg8!
1. Qg8+ Rxg8 (forced)
2. Nf7 mate!
Qg8+ Rxg8
Nf7#
Rc7
1.Qg8 Rxg8 2. Nf7
1. Qg8+ Rxg8
2. Nf7 ++
easy…
“Excuse for the inconvenience, we are changing BRASIL !!!”
1. Qg8+ Rxg8
2. Nf7#
1.Qg8+, Rxg8,
2.Ng7++
Qg8+ then knight mates
Rc7 will win, but not nearly as elegantly as 1.Qg8 and 2.Nf7#.
Queen to g8, check, rook takes queen, knight to f7, mate.
Qg8+ Rxg8 followed by Nf7#
1. Qg8+ RxQ (forced)
2. Nf7#
Qg8+
Qg8+ followed by mate with knight
1. Qg8+ Rg8
2. Nf7#
1. Qg8+, Rxg8
2. Nf7≠
