White to move. What is the best continuation for White.
1.RxN leads to mate!
1………fe
2.Nxe6+ K moves
3.Q mates on 8th!
That one was easy.
RxN and after Ne6+, and mate.
Until I got the solution.
Neither of you are correct so far.
Best wishes,

black has a defense to RxN. the simple Nf6 wins for black. how about:
1.Nxe6+ fxe6
2.Qf8+ Kc7
3.Bf4+ Kb5
4.a4+ Ka6 (otherwise mate)
5.Qd3+ b5
6.axb5+ Kb6
7.Ra6+ Qxa6 (otherwise mate)
8.bxa6 +-
a
How about Bg5?

A really nice puzzle, because many possible moves was interesting :
* Rxe6
* Nxe6+
* Bg5+
* i was trying Qf8+ too.
And this is hard to deal, with all the defense … now i see why only Nxe6+ win.
After 1. Rxe6 fxe6 is not forced !! (Nh6).
🙁
: Tr0piiic.
Bf4
Then Qf1+, Knight takes
Rd1#
Correct me if I am wrong
1) Nxe6+ fxe6
2) Qf8+ Kc7
3) Bf4+ Kc6
4) Qd6 Kb5
5) a4+ Kb4
6) Bd3+ Kc4
7) b2+ Kxb3
8) Qd2+ Kb2
9) Qc3#
if
5) …Ka6
6) Qd3+ b5
7) axb5++ Kb6
8) Ra6+ Qxa6
9) bxa6 +-
your Ka6 line is correct. but if Kb4 then Qd2+ and mate next move.
1. Bf4! Ne7 (if 1…Nxe4 then 2. Re8#) 2. Bg5 f6 3. Bxf6 Re8 4. Nxe8 and White wins.
Bf4 is a wrong move.Black threatens mate in 2 i.e Bh1/Bh3 followed bu Qg2++. Thus every White move must have a check. Bf4 doesn’t achieve that. For eg.
1.Bf4 Ne7/Nf6
2.Bg5 Nxg5
3. Qxe7+ Kc8
White’s mating attack has ended and now has to deal with the mating threat against its own King.
Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.
Hi,
I’m just a beginner, but my
thinking is to keep black’s king’s
rook out of play by not allowing
his king’s knight to move, so do
some forcing and drive the king
out.
Mine is similar to anonymous at
6:03 am:
1. Nxe6+ fxe6 (otherwise Qf8++)
2. Qf8+ Kc7
3. Bf4+ Kc6
4. Qd6+ Kb5
5. a4+ Kc4
6. Rc1+ Kb4
7. Bd2+ Kb3
8. Qd3+ Kxb2
9. Qc3# or Qa3# or Qc2#
or Qb5# or Qb1#

All shortsighted. Trinskys challenge, give, take, give, take, take, CM.
Take the easy route.
