Qe4
I know this opening, it’s King’s Extinct isn’t it?
The main theoretic line is:
1. Qe4+ Kxg5
2. Qh4+ Kg6
3. Be4+ Kg7
4. Qxh7#
with a small plus, mate rather, for white
1.) 1.Qe4+ Kxg5 2.Qh4+ Kf5 3.Bd3+Ke5 4.f4#
2.) 1.Qe4+ Kxg5 2.Qh4+ Kg6 3.Bd3+ Kg7 4.Qxh7#
3.)1.Qe4+ Kh6 2.Qh4+ Kg6 3.Bd3+ Kg7 4.Qxg7#
4.)Qe4+ Kg7 2.Qxh7#
