Black to move. How should Black proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
1… Qh5+
2. gxh5 Rh4#
Carlsen was rated 2450 at age 13?
No way I would have seen this double sacrifice over the board.
Main line, I think:
1. … Rxg4
2. RxN Qh5+
3. Kg1 Be5
4. g3 Bxg3
5. fxg Rxg3+
6. and whether Kf1 or Kf2, Black’s Q and R mate quickly.
Not taking the knight doesn’t help White.

HOw does Qh5 # followed by Rh4 mate NOT work?
How about Qh5+ followed by Rh4 mate?
1. Qh5 gxh5
2. rh4 0-1
1Qh5 PxQ 2Rh4 mate
Nxc3, followed by Bxc3
Qh5+; gxh5, Rh4#
Qxh5+!! forces mate after gxh5 Rh4++
How about
1.)… Qh5+
2.) gxh5 Rh4+ mate
Qh5! – game over.
Qh5+…after white gxQ…
Then it’s mate at Rh4+!

1. Qh5+ gxh5
2. Rh4#
Qh5+ gxh5 Rh4 checkmate
Qh5+!… after white force move by taking the Queen at h5 then it’s a mate.
Rh4+ check mate!

Sree, think you are right as that forks the two white rooks. Good job!

That all she wrote baby

Rh4+mate
1.Qh5+ gxh5 2.Rh4 mat
This is a particularly easy problem.
Mate in 2.
1. … … Qh5+
2. g*h5 Rh4 mate
[I’m anonymous because the special Google word verification keeps telling me (and my wife who also tried) that we’re wrong. Much harder than this problem! Psyche.]
Its obviously 1)Qh5+ Ptakes Q forced 2) Rh4 #
Without the g4 pawn, it would be mate in one on h4 or h5. Now it’s mate in two, starting with Qh5+.
Qh5+ and white must capture gxh5 but will get mated after Rh4#. Simple clearing exercise to get to the h-file.

too easy…
