White to move. Can White hold off the mating threat by Black?
white can play:
1.Rf8 kf8
2.Qe6 kg8
3.Qe8mate
Anon 3.15 has it right of course, even though the odd ‘x’ would make it clearer.
Not too challenging: must be useful at some level of learning. Where does this come from?
I believe it is Rxf8+,KxR,Qxd6+(not e6),Kg8, Qd8mate
