        Re6, threatening Rxh6+ looks devastating. I don’t see any good response for black.

        1. Ne6 then 2. Bxg7 +-

        Rxf6 gxf6
        Bxf6++

        Re6 Qxe6
        Qxe6

        Im threatening Rh6++..This was harder than usual..I had to really think on this one.

        “+-“

        Certainly not, since White is currently down a piece and a pawn.

        2 Steps for “KO” :

        1.Re6 hxg5
        2.Rh4#

        OR

        3 Steps for “KO” :

        1.Re6 Re4
        2.Rxe4 gxe4
        3.Bxe4#

        I think Re6 looks very strong threatening mate on h6. If the Knight is taken then Rh6 mate. So I guess its over then

        1.Re6! threatens Rh6/Rxh6 mate.

        on 1…Rf6 follows simply 2.Rxf6! with the same threat.

        There is no reasonnable way out: neither a queen, a rook, a king, a knight or a bishop move prevents this threat, not to speak of a pawn move. maybe 1….Qxe6 is the best way out, still Black stays in !

        1. Re6 threatening 2. Rxh6#
        black can only delay the mating attack but not stop it.

        Hello Susan

        Te6 ! Threatening Txh6+
        If hxg5 then Th6++.

        Black has to take the rook with the queen, but even then, the attack from white is too strong…

        Re6 looks interesting, threatening Rxh6#. If hxg5, then White still has Rh#

        1. Re6! threatening Rxh6#
        I only see Qxe6, and white should win soon

        1.Re6 (with the threat of 2. Rxh6#)

        The only defense I see for black is 1….QxR but after 2.QxQ the mate threat of 3.Qxh6# can’t be stop, and if 2….Rf6 then 3.Qe8+ also mates.

        1.Re6 and Rh6 mate follows.. (if Rf6 Rf6 wins)
