White to move. How should White proceed?
1. Ng5 g6 (Otherwise 2. Qxh7#)
2. Qxg6#!! fxg6
3. Rxh7 wins since 4. Rg7+ Kh8 5. Nxg6# is unstoppable.
1. Ng5! g6/h7 (Bxg5?? Qxh7#)
and white almost have too many goodlooking moves to chose among…
Kg5
Fantastique !
Perhaps 1. Ng5 g6 (1…f5 2.Ne6 bxa2 3.Kb2) 2.Rxh7 Kxh7 (2…Bf6 3.Ne6) 3.Rh1+ Kg8 4.Rh8#
1.Qxh7+ Kxh7 2.Ng5+ Kg8 3.Rh7!
If 3…Bxg5 then 4.Rxg7+ Kh8 5.Rxg5+ and 6.Rh1#.
If 3…Bf6 then 4.Reh1 g6 5.Rh8+ and 6.Rh8#.
If 3…Nf5 then 4.Reh1 and black has no defense against checkmate (4…Nh6 5.Rxg7+ and 6.Rxh6#; if something else then Rh8#).
pumpf is correct. that is what i too found!!! cheers pumpf!!!
