White to move. How can White save this game?
4k3/1K2n1n1/5P2/4N3/4N3/7p/p7/8 w – – 0 1
1.f7+ Kd8
2.f8=Q+ Ne8
3.Nf6 with mate to follow
1.f7+ Kf8
2.Ng5! with Nd7/Ne6/Ng6/Nh7 mate to follow depending on blacks response.
beautiful!
1.f7+ Kf8
2.Ng5! with 4 mate threats on d7 e6 (if Knight g7 moves) g6 (if Knight e7 moves) and h7. Black is lost.
very nice.
I’m thinking about playing
1) Nd6+, …;
if 2) …, Kd8;
3) f7, a1=Q;
4) f7=8+, Ne8;
5) Qxe8#
but I can’t find the right sequence
if 2) …, Kf8;
3) Ng6+, Kg8;
4) f7+, Kh7;
and now? 5) f8=Q, a1=Q;
It’s too early for me, I’m just wake up! Ahahaha 🙂
I need your help!!

1.f7+ Kf8
2. Ng5!!! comes to my mind at the first impression..
Is it correct?
Now there is mating from various places
Ne6 # (if N on g7 moves) Ng6# (if N on e file moves) otherwise Nd7# or Nh7# will do the trick..
I think…
1.f7+ Kf8
2.Ng5
…looks to win for white.
1. f7+, Kf8 (Kd8 2. f8Q+, Ne8 3. Nf6) 2. Ng5!! and mate next move:
a1Q 3. Nh7/Nd7#
Ne moves 3. Ng6#
Ng moves 3. Ne6#
Best wishes from Germany

I am able to see only upto few moves
1.f7+ (1..Kd8 2.f8=Q+ Ne8 3.Nf6 & 4.Qxe8#) Kf8
2.Nf6(idea of Nh7+ or Nd7+ & f8=Q)Ne6
3.??
1.fxg7 a1=Q
2.Nf6+ Kd8
3.Nc6+ Nxc6
4.g8=Q+ Ke7
5.Qe8 Kd6
6.Qc6+ Ke5
7.??
(1) f7+ Kf8; Ng5 g1=Q1; Nh7+
(2) f7+ Kd8; f8=Q8+
f7+ Kg8
Ng5 with two mate threats each one to be played according to wich knight moves to leave an escape case for the king
Luigi again…
I got it! Or at least I think I got it…
So on my first post I stopped after
1) Nd6+, Kf8;
2) Ng6+, …; is a blunder!
but the right way is:
2) Nd7+, Kg8;
3) f7+, Kh7;
4) f8=N+!!, Kh6;
5) Nf7+, Kh5;
6) Nf6+, Kh4;
7) Ng6#
Please, tell me that it is right!!
I thought this position printed on my mind the whole time I was at the beach!

First White can mate in three, beginning with the check by the pawn, followed by Ng5 (and the rest is simple!) then i suggest to save the game in pgn format.
1. f7+
a) 1…Kd8 2. Nc6+ Kd7 3. f8N#!
b) 1…Kf8 2. Ng5 any 3. Nh7#
