Ng5! fxg5 (forced)
f6+!
white threatens mate on both g7 and h7.
1. Ng5 fxg5 2. f6. Checkmate in one.
White is lucky to draw this. The pawn on b2 is dead.
Ng5 followed by f6 should do it.
I dont get it.
If 1. Ng5, fxg5. 2. f6, Bxf6, 3. QxB, g5xB so where is the mate in one???
to above poster.
3. Qxh7#
Oh I see it now black has no chance If back realizes what is happening then black looses material and if not black is mated good one.
1. Ng5! (threatening Qxh7#)
1. … fxg5
2. f6!! (threatening both Qxh7# and Qg7#).
Black cannot respond to both threats.
