White to move. How should white proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
at first glance I looked at Bxh7+, but a moment later I relaized that Qxf7+ works
Easy!
1. Qxf7+ Rxf7
2. Re8+ Rf8
3. Rxf8#
Don’t know, maybe Re6. But did you see this? http://www.psychologytoday.com/print/23195
Was too obsessed with the idea of Re8! that I failed to spot this simple tactic.
1. Qxf7+! mates
Looks like it’s time for the good ol’ fashioned Bxh7+! sac. Good things will follow..
1 Qf7+ Rf7 2 Re8 and mate 1-0
qxf2. rxf2. re8+. gg.
1. Qf7+ Rf7 (Kh8 2. Qf8#)
2. Re8+ Rf8
3. Ref8#
1.Qxf7+ Rxf7 2.Re8+ Rf8 3.Rexf8# or Rfxf8#
