White to move. How do you assess this position? How should White proceed?
White is cooked. Black wins.
1. Ng6, with the threat of 2. Ne7 & Qe7++. I don’t see a defence.
Come on…. this is not advanced!
Just Qxg6+!
1 Ng6! A)1…hg6 2Rh8 mate
B)1…fg6 2Qg6 hg6 3Rh8 mate
C)1…Bg5 2Ne7 Qe7 3Qh7 mate
D)1…bc3 2Ne7 with Qh7 mate
Black thus has no defense after 1 Ng6! There may be other winning moves but ng6 seems to be the most forcing.

Justin is right.
Another mate:
1.Ng6!, Re8;
2.Ne7+, RxN;
3.Qxh7+,Kf8;
4.Qf7++
“Come on…. this is not advanced!
Just Qxg6+!”
1. Qxg6+??, fxg6
And what now? I don’t see it, please tell me…
1.Nfe6 fxe6 2.Qg6 hg6 3.Rh8#
1.Nfe6 fxe6 2.Qg6 hg6 3.Rh8#
.. and why must black fxe6 ?
1. Nfe6??????? Qa5!!!!!!
….
As stated previously, there is no defense vs. 1. Nxg6
