Qxf6 would be mate were the Black queen not guarding the bishop, so 1. Re8+ clinches it – I think – I mean I’m still reeling from the Benko.
This is straight off the Chessgames.com main page. The answer is: 1. Re8+ deflecting the queen from f6 or blocking it with the bishop if it captures.
Re8+ any black move mate in one.
Re8+ any black move mate in one
Hello

Greetings from Spain
isn’t Re8+ abundantly obvious? If Bxe8 then Qg8 mate. If Qxe8 then Qxf6 mate
1. Re8+
and white wins
