White to move. How should white proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Qh8 will win a piece because of the knight fork:
1. Qh8 Kh8
2. Nf7 wins the bishop and forks the king and queen. Also, the d-pawn is no threat to white
1. Qh8+
a tough one!
this is quite obvious:
1. Qh8+ Kxh8
2. Nxf7 Kany
3. Nxd6
greets, jan
1. Qh8+ Kh8
2. N*B K(any)
3. N*Q
1-0
The knight fork wins a bishop, you just need to get rid of your queen first! Luckily the d-pawn is under control:
1. Qh8! Kxh8
2. Nxf7+ Kg7
3. Nxd6 d3
4. Nc4!
1 – 0
1. Qh8+ Kxh8
2. Kxf7+ K any
3. Kxd6
1- Qh8 wins the house
Qh8+ and after Kxh8, Nf7+ winning the black queen
1. Qh8+ Kxh8
2. Kxf7+ K any
3. Kxd6
1. Qh8+ Kh8 (only move)
2. Nf7+ K moves
3. Nd6
Too easy! Qh8+ and fork coming with knight up.
Q to h8 check.
The real puzzle is figuring out the letters and number below.
