1.Rg6+ hxg6
2.Qxg6+ Kd5
3.Qxf5+ Qe5
4.Qxe5#
All other variations are shorter.
1. Rg6+ hg
2. Qg6+ Kd5
3. Qf5+ Qe5
4. Qe5++
1. Qh6+ 1-0
LOL, Anonymous. You might as well just write, “White moves and wins.”
White needs to be able to capture f5 with the queen, but the king needs to be diverted to d5 first, so white needs to rid the board of h7:
1. Rg6! Kd5
2. Qf5 Qe5 (only move)
3. Qe5#
Other replies are no better for black:
1. Rg6 Kf7
2. Qf5 Qf6 (only move)
3. Qf6#
Or,
1. Rg6 hg6
2. Qg6 Kd5 (Qf6 3. Qf6 wins)
3. Qf5 Qe5 (only move)
4. Qe5#
Rg6+!
If…Kd5
Qxf5+ Qe5(forced)
Qxe5#
If…hxg6
Qxg6+ Kc5
(If …Qf6, Qxf6+Kc5, Qxf5#)
Qxf5+ Qe5
Qxe5#
If…Kf7
Qxf5+ Qf6
Qxf6#
1. Qh6+? Kd5 0-1
