White to move. How should white proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
1 B:e4 B:e4
2 f4 Qa5 (2 … Qc5; 3 Rd8+)
3 R:e4
wins a clear pawn
R:g6
1. Rxg6, fxg6 2. Rxe4 and white wins.
Classic annihilation of a defender
1.Rxg6 fxg6 2.Rxe4 and 3.Rxe7, with a Bishop plus
1. Rxg6 fxg6
2. Rxe4 Qxe4
3. Bxe4 R1e8
4. f3
Rxg6 followed by Rxe4 suggests itself, though I have not looked at any of black’s possible first move replies but fxg6.
Looks like 1.Rxg6 fxg6
2.Rxe4 and after black Q move
3.Rxe7 and B up
Festive Greetings!

by Malcolm Pein in Daily Telegraph?
Further to my mate in ONE remark….it is here at 25mins in

But perhaps well known by now?
