White to move. How should white proceed?
Easy today. Mate in 3.
1.Rxg7++
1….Kh8. 2. R/Qg8#
1….Kxg7. 2. Qf7+. Kh8. 3. Qh7#
black knight protects h7
The knight protects h7. Tappu is correct with his second comment- 1.Rxf8 is the best use of the double check.
Rf4+
Rf4+ can be replied with Bb3
Sorry, I was wrong. The best move would be
1. Rxf8++ Kxf8
2. Qf7#
correct.
