Be6 and Bf4
Not …Bf4? Nxf2+ with complications.
Better is simply Be6+!, K any, Qd7++
1. Be6+ Ke8 (1…Kd6/Kxd8 2. Qd7#) 2. Qd7+ Kf8 3. Bh6+ Rxh6 4. Qf7#
It was fun. I like these puzzles. I never give out the answer unless it is after a very long time. No reason to take away fun for the next person.
Actually, Qd7 isn’t mate yet. The king goes to f8. 1. Be6+ Ke8 2. Qd7+ Kf8 3. Bh6+ Rxf6 4. Qf7#
Not exactly Anon 11:26. It is rather a mate in four.
1. Be6+ Ke8
2. Qd7+ Kf8
3. Bh6+ Rxh6 (forced)
4. Qf7#
Be6+! Ke8 (Kc8 or Kd6 are mate after Qd7+)
Qd7 Kf8
Bh6 and mate to follow
Be6 leads to mate shortly. The longest mate is:
Be6 Ke8
Qd7+ Kf8
Bh6+ Rxh6
Qf7++
1. Be6+ Kd6
2. Qd7#
