1. f6+ Qxf6 2. Ne8+ 1-0
Sorry, just saw that rook on e4 prevents 2. Ne8+. Therefore:
1. f6+ Qxf6 2. Qxe4 Qxd6 1-0
Why the suicidal 2…. Qxd6 3.cxd6? ☺
f6+ Qf6
Qe3 Qb2
Qe7+ etc.
Right on Bill.
f6+ Qxf6
Qxe3 Qxb2
Qe7+ Kh6 (…kh8, Qf8#)
Nf7+ Kg7 (…Kh5, Qg5#)
Ng5+ Kh6 (… Kh8, Qxh7# or Qf8# […Kg8 , Qf7+, Kh8, Qxh7# or Qf8# or Qxh7. Kf8. Qf7# ])
Qxh7+ Kxg5
Qh4+ Kf5
Qf4+ Ke6
Re1+ Qd7
Qd6#
Nice!
Of course, on 3… Kg8, white has Qf7+ and mate with Qf8#
