White to move. How should white proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
1. f6 g6
2. Qe2 Bxb2
3. Qxe8+ Rxe8
4. Rxe8+ Qf8
It’s a winning position for white.
4. … Kh7 and then?
After 4. Rxe8+ Kh7 5. Rh1#
The easier line for me to see was 1. f6 Bxf6 2. Rxe8+ Rxe8 3. Bxf6 g6 4. Qh4 and Black has to eventually sacrifice Q for B to avoid mate. But then it took me ages to see that the f rook could move to the h file.
1. f6 g6
2. Bxe5 Rxe5
3. Qf4 Rde8
4. Qh6
If 4.. Re2+ 5.Kh1
3. … Rf5
If 3. … Rf5,
4. Qh6 Rxf6
5. Rh1!
4. … Qxf6 5. Rh1 Qg7 you got most of the concepts right just not enough calculation.
