White to move. How should white proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Re5, and if fe, then Ne7+ and mate to follow on f8.
1. Rxe5! +- white wins knight and threatens (2. Re7!)
if 1…fxe5? 2.Ne7+! Kh8 3.Qxf8+ Qg8 4.Qxg8#
Marcelo
Rxe5! +-
(..fxe5 Ne7+ Kh8 Qxf8#)
It’s hard to suggest a move for black after this really.
Solved in less than 5 seconds. Earned my glass of vodka (Smirnov).
1. Rxe5 wins, since if Black takes: 1. .. fxe5 2. Ne7+ Kh8 3. Qxf8+ Qg8 4.Qxg8#
1. R:e5 for if fe
2. Nh6+ and
3. Q:f8#
1. Rxe5 wins a Knight. 1. … fxe5 2. Ne7+ Kh8 3. Qxf8+ Qg8 4. Qxg8#
Qa7 then Qxg7#
Rook takes e5 knight. If pawn takes rook , knight checks in e7, then queen takes rook mate.
A lot more than 5 seconds.
1. Rxe5 fxe5
2. Ne7+ Kh8
3. Qxf8+ Qg8
4. Qxg8#
Mark
1.Rxe5 fxe5
2.Qxf8#
Rxe5, fxe5, Ne7ch, Kh8, Qxf8 checkmate
That was easy:
1. Rxe5 fxe5
2. Ne7 Kh8
3. Qxf8 Qg8
4. Qxg8++
Rxe5 winning the black Knight.
Rxe5 wins a piece for free…
1. Rxe5!! fxe5??
2. Nh6+! gxh6/Kh8
3. Qxf8+ checkmate
Qa7?! Qf7
Although white is still winning:
Qa7 Qf7 Rxe5! fxe5 Nh6+ gxh6 Rxf7 Rxf7 Qb8+ Kg7 Qxe5+ Kf8 +-
Rxe5… He can’t take ’cause then Ne7+ is gg…
RxN
if f6 x e5, continues Ne7+, Kh8; QxR+, Qg2; QxQ++

1. Re1xe5

Rxe5, fxe5, Nh6ch:

White can capture black knight for free.
