White to move. How should White proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Qxg8 next Rg2
Qxg7+
1. Qg8 +
1. Rd8 +-
1Qxg8+ Kxg8 (forced)
2Rg2+…
Black now has Kf8 or Kh8 or Rg7.
Kf8 and Kh8 both lose shortly after: 3Rd8+…
2…Rg7 leads to Black losing his queen and rook leaving White up a rook which I imagine wins. I am doing this just staring at the diagram, so I may have made mistakes.
1.Qxg8 Kxg8
2.Rg2+ Kh8 (if Kf8 then 3.Rd8#)
3.Rd8+ Bf8 (if Rf8 then 4.f7#)
4.Rxf8+ Rxf8
5.f7#
From Spain…
1)Rd8,Rd8
2)Rd8+,Bf8
3)Rf8+,Rf8
4)f7++
1)Rd8,Bf8
2)R1d7+-
rg2 with rd8+ if the queen is taken or f7+ if rf7 is moved
Qg7+ wins for white
Q eats the rook, King eats Queen, Rook peeps on the King from g2, and the black king is soon Mated.
Qxg8+ Kxg8
Rg2 Rg7
Rd8+ Kf7
Rxg7+ Ke6
rxb7
not bad for not doing any problems in awhile.. took about 30 seconds.. ;)i still got it baby.. keep the problems rolling…. im gonna bust a few..
Qxg8+, Kxg8
Rg2 +
1./ Kf8, Rd8 check mate/
2.Kh8 Rd8+ Bf8, Rxf8 Rxf8, f7 checkmate
3. Rg7 Rxg7+,Qxg7, fxg7 and white win
Qg7 wins.. its actually not that hard compared to Susan’s other puzzles..
Hi Susan,
Am from India and was exposed to your blog during the Anand-Topalov match. Should say that it was a pleasure following your live commentary. Have since starting following your blog everyday (and have even been reading the archives!!).. Was wondering about what happened to your W.C. Match Part 2 commentary though? Did I miss it?
1. Qxd8+ Kxd8
2. Rg2+
I.)
3. Kf8 Rd8#
II.)
3. Kh8 Rd8+
4. Bf8 Rxf8+
5. Rxf8 f7#
III.)
3. Rg7 Rxg7+
a.)
4. Kh8 Rd8+
5. Bf8 Rxf8#
b.)
4. Qxg7 fxg7
and any black attempt to stop g8=Q is futile, e.g.
5. Bf8 Rd8
6. Kf7 Rxf7+
Hi Susan Polgar,
Ref: “Brilliant chess tactic” [ White to move ]
Sub : White wins the game.
1.Rg2 R*Qg5
2.R*Rg5 Rf8
3.f7 + mate
White wins the game : 1 – 0
Well,there are other combination too but still white can win.

Qxg8 and Rg2+
1. Qg8 Kg8 2. Rd8 Bf8 3. Rf8 Rf8 4. f7 mate. nice one – Susan
1. Qxg8+ Kxg8 2. Rg2+
(2..Kf8 3. Rd8#, if 2..Kh8 3. Rd8+ Bf8 4. Rxf8 Rxf8 5. f7#) 2..Rg7 3. Rd8+ Kf7
Now white can choose to win whichever way he wants. Quickest would be 4. fxg7 threatening g8Q and mate soon to follow
He can also choose 4. Rxg7+ and win the black Queen, etc
1.QxRg8+ KxQg8 2.Rg2+ Kh8 (if 2…Kf8 3.Rd8+mate) 3.Rd8+ Bf8 4.RxBf8+ RxRf8 5.f7+mate
Rd8 Bg8
RxBg8 RxRg8
f7#
1) Q Xg8+ , kXg8
2) Rg2+
Rd8
I have a question..

Anand kept saying this in his interview.. published in chessbase..
i would appreciate if you could answer in one of your blog posts..
1.Qxg8-Kxg8 2.Rg2+-Kh8 (2…Kf8 3.Rd8#.)3.Rd8-Bf8 4.Rxf8+-Rxf8 5.f7#
