1. Bg6+ if 1… fxg6 then 2. fxg6+, 3. Kd8+, etc
1.Bg6+ fxBg6
2.f5xg6+ Kh8(g8)
3.Rd8+ KxRe8
4.RxK Re8
5.RxR++
1Bg6+ fXg6
2fxg6+ Kh8 or Kg8
3Rd8+ Nxd8

If 1….,Kg8 or 1…,Kh8 then 2.Rd8+, Nxd8 3.Rxd8+, Re8 4.Rxe3#
2.fxg6+, Kg8
3.Rd8+, Nxd8
4.Rxd8+, Re8
5.Rxe8#
So simple…
Bg6+ gives mate in 4 moves.
Piece of cake.
1. Bg6+ fxg6
2. fxg6+ Kg8/Kh8
3. Rd8+ Nxd8
4. Rxd8+ Re8
5. Rxe8#
1. Bg6+ fxg6
2. fxg6+ Kh8
3. Rd8+ Nxd8
4. Rxd8#
1, Bxg6+! fxg6
2, fxg6+ Kg8
3, Rd8+! Nxd8
4, Rxd8#
1. Bg6+ fxg6

Chess basics your reader might like to read:
Chess is a two-player board game played on a chessboard, a square-checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-8 grid. Every player begins the game with sixteen items: 1 king, one particular queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Pieces transfer in numerous assigned ways in accordance to their style, and accordingly are used to assault and capture the opponent’s pieces. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent’s king, whereby the king is below fast attack (in “check”) and there is no way to move or defend it.
1. Bg6+ fxg6 2.hxg6+ followed by Rd8+ and mate on the back rank.
Simple but Beautiful!!
Very instructive for beginners. Definitely will show this puzzle in my chess class in the Public Library.
seems pretty straightforward to me:
1. Bg6+ fxg6
2. fxg6+ Kg8/h8
3. Rd8+ Nxd8
4. Rxd8+ Re8
5. Rxe8#
greets, jan
1.Bg6+ fxg6
2.fxg6+ Kh8 (or Kg8)
3.Rd8+ Nxd8
4.Rxd8#
Same pattern follows even if Kg8 or Kh8 in the move 1.

B+P against g6 and 2 rooks against d8 seems to do it here.
White can sack his way to a mate in 5 (and variations hardly exist, only faster ones if black skips taking):
1. Bg6+ fxg6
2. fxg6+ Kg8/Kh8
3. Rd8+ Nxd8
4. Rxd8+ Re8
5. Rxe8#
1. Bg6+ fxg6 2. fxg6+ Kg8 3. Rd8+ Nxd8 4. Rxd8+ *
A simple problem with a nice sac.
1. Bg6+, fxg6
2. fxg6+, Kg8
3. Rd8+, Nxd8
4. Rxd8+, Re8
5. Rxe8 checkmate
After 1…, Kg8 follow the given moves 3, 4 and 5.

Most likely line is:
Bg6+ fxg6
fxg6+ Kh8 (or Kg8)
Rd8+ Nxd8
Rxd8+ Re8
Rxe8++
White should allow Black to push his a-pawn to the a2 square, at which point the second player always loses.
1.Bg6+ fxg6
2.fxg6+ Kh8
3.Rd8+ Nxd8
4.Rxd8+ Re8
