White to move. How should White proceed?

1.Bxg7+ Kg8
2.Ne7#
If 1…Nxg7,then
2.Rf8+ Rxf8
3.Qxf8#
OMG, I think I solved it!! My first one ever, yippee!! =)
1. Bxg7+ Kg8
2. Ne7++
1. Bxg7+ Nxg7
2. Rf8+ Rxf8
3. Qxf8++
Must have been an easy one if I can solve it. =)

B#g7 Check works….Kg8..then N Mate…or N#B Rf8 Mate.
This one is easy. With Black’s material advantage, and potential queening, quick action is needed. The only two considerations are R*g7 with the potential discovery or B*g7 check.
B*g7+ mates in 2 or 3 moves, viz
1. Bg7+ Kg8 2. Ne7#
Alternatively
1. Bg7+ Ng7 2. Rf8+ 2. Rf8 3. Qf8#
As usual, I’m anomymous (psyche) because to protest the word verification system.
1.Bxg7+ Kg8 2.Ne7# or 1.Bxg7+ Nxg7 2.Rf8+ Rxf8 3.Qxf8# White WON
The knight is pinned, so
1 Bxg7+ mates:
if …Nxg7, then Rf8+ then Qf8#.
if …Kg8, then Ne7#.
1. Bxg7, Kg8 2.Ne7# or 1. , Nxg7 2. Rf8+, Rxf8 3. Qxf8#
1.Bxg7+ then,
1…Kg8 2.Ne7#
or 1…Nxg7 2.Rf8+ Rxf8 3.Qxf8#
Overnight’s assignment. 🙂
mate in 3:
1. Bxg7+ Nxg7
2. Rf8+ Rxf8
3. Qxf8#
if 1. … Kg8, then
2. Ne7#
greets, jan
1. Bxg7+
Bxg7! end game over!
1.B:g7+ N:g7 (…Kg8 2.Ne7#)
2.Rf8+ R:f8
3.Q:f8#
Bxg7 NxB
Rf8 RxR
QxR++
Bxg7+ Kg8
Ne7++
1.Bxg7+ Nxg7 2.Rf8+ RxR 3.Qxf8 mate ! the knight is acting like a pawn !
or 1…Kg8 2.Ne7 mate !
