White to move. How should White proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Qh1 aiming Qh8+. Black have to lose an exchange to prevent mate.
Having just spent 2 hours studying Spassky/Fischer game 13 with the aid of one Garry Kasparov, the queen move appeared about 2 seconds after I gave up trying to find a way to get my rook trapped on f8.
It took me a minute to find:
1. Qh1
brm
i don’t see anything pleasant for black after 1. Qh1
1. Qh1!
Qh1, threatening Qh8 mate, looks pretty conclusive.
Qh1
qh1! game
Qh1 wins
Qh1
Qh1 seems resignable…
1. Qh1
Move the queen backwards to attack forwards: Qh1!
Very nasty for black 🙂
Qh1
Bxg6
Hello.
1. Qh1 winning
1.Qh1 seems quite undefendable.
The “retreat” Qh1 should do the job.

Qh1!
After Qh1 the only way for black to prevent mate following Qh8+ is to sacrifice his queen on f8.

Dh1 !
