White to move. How should White proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Rf6! 🙂
1. Rf6 Qxf6 2. Qd5 mate
Too easy to identify the weak square of d5:
1. Rf6
And black can’t take at f6 without allowing Qd5#. About the best black can likely do is to block at f7, but this is just going to drop the queen for a rook at a minimum, and might even lead to mate:
1. …..Rf7
2. Re6 Ke6
3. Bc6 Nc6
4. bc6 Rc7
5. Re1 Kd6
6. Rd1 Ke6
7. Rd7 Rd7
8. cd7 and almost all this line seems forced to me by even worse outcomes for black at each move, but I didn’t look too deeply at all of them.

Answer is : – 1) Rf6 Qxf6;
2) Qd5 #.
Let me know if it is the right answer?

Its cool
1.Rf6! wins the queen for starters, since 1…Qxf6 is met by 2.Qd5#.
Nice! 1. Rf6! and the queen is gone. If 1… Qxf6 2. Qd5 mate.
1. Rf6 wins
if 1… Qxf6, 2. Qd5#
simply Rf6, and if Qxf6, then Qd5#-
greets, jan
1. Rf6! and game over.
Black cannot take the rook because of 1. … Qxf6 2. Qd5#
Rf6 costs Black’s Queen, as Qxf6 leads to the simple checkmate Qd5. However other moves will win either.
Rf6 wins the queen (if QxR then Qd5++)
1. Rf8-f6
–br
1. Rf6
and queen is dead because of Qxf6 Qd5#.
White will actually be blank queen up after Rd1+ Ke7 Re1+.
1.Rf6 – Q:f6 2. Qd5
Rf6
1 Rf6 Qxf6 2 Qd5X
Olimat
1 Rf6 qxf6
2 Qd5#
1.Rf6!…Qxf6
2.Qd5 mate
Rf6
1. Rf6
1) Tf6 Q x T
2) Qd5++
Rf6 with the idea of Qd5 mate
