1.Nxf5 looks good
(1…gxf Qf6 and it’s all over)
1…Kh5
2.Qf6 Kg4
3.Qg5+ Kf3
4.Nh4+ Ke3
(4…Ke2 5.Qg4+ Ke3 6.Ng2#)
5.f5+! Ke2
6.Qg4+ Ke3
7.Ng2#
1.Qf6 looks simple with ideas of Nxf5+ & Qg5/h4 mate
To anno 8:47
If 1.Qf6 then mabye Nd7
threatening the queen and protecting f5.
to anon. 9:01, since when does a N on d7 protect f5?! lol
@anon 9:46
The Nd7 does so indirectly opening up the queen to protect f5. Was that too complicated for you??
1.Nxf5 looks good
