All the king’s horses and all the king’s men could not save Aleksandrov the Great.In fact horse turned traitor.
Mate in 4
1. Qh8+, Ng8 (forcef)
2. Qxg7+, Kxg7(forced)
3. Rh7+, Kf8 (only legal move)
4. Rf7#
Easy peasy lemon squeazy since black’s moves are all forced ones. I got this one right to the end in about 5 seconds for once.
1. Qh8 Ng8
2. Qg7!
The hardest of the moves to spot, in my opinion. Continuing:
2. ……Kg7
3. Rh7 Kf8
4. Rf7#
Took me an embarrassingly long time – 4 or 5 minutes – to see it; I kept looking for a way to sacrifice the Queen on g8 instead. Of course, the easy and obvious solution is:
1. Qh8+ Ng8
2. Qxg7+ Kxg7
3. Rh7+ Kf8
4. Rf7 mate
