White to move. How should white proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Rg7!
Rg7!
The black rook can’t move at all because of the double threat Rg8# if it has left the 8th rank, or Nf7# if it has left the sixth file.
whatever black does: Nc4, Nd7 or any pawn move is followed with
Nf7+ Rxf7
Rxf7
Black is doomed with a knight for a rook and a passed pawn on the 6th rank.
Rg7 & Nf7
1.Rg7 Nd7 2.Rg8+ Rxg8 3.Nf7# selim tümer Türkiye
Rg7 any
Rg8+ Rxg8
Nf7+
Rg7 should work.
Kf7 threatens mate.
…RXf6 followed by
Rg8#
1.Rg7 then 2.Rg8+ and 3.Nf7#
1.Rg7; 2.Rg8+; 3.Nf7#
Easy peasy smother-type mate- Rg7 threatens Rg8 and I don’t see any way to prevent the mate on one of the next two moves since Rxg8 loses to Nf7.
