White to move. How should white proceed?
6k1/bp2q2p/4P1pB/1p3p2/1P2p3/2Qr2P1/5n1P/2R3K1 w – – 0 1
Looks simple:
1. Qg7+ Qxg7
2. Rc8+ Rd8
3. Rxd8+ Qf8
4. Rxf8++
Seems pretty straightforward:
1. Qg7 Qg7
2. Rc8 Rd8
3. Rd8 Qf8
4. Rf8#
a nice lil queen sacrifice …
white plays Qg7+
1)Qg7+, Qxg7
2)Rc8+ and black can’t escape the mate
Qg7+ Qxg7, and Rc8+.
After Rd8 and Qf8, the rook will mate on f8.
1.Qg7+ followed by 2Rc8+ looks extremely convincing. Phil
A noble woman, as usual, is the one called upon to sacrifice herself in a dramatic manner, all to remove
her counterpart’s defence of the crucial d8-square.
1. Qg7+ Qxg7
2. Rc8+ Rd8
3. Rxd8+ Qf8
4. Rxf8#

Qg7+ followed by R check
Qg7+ QxQ
Rc8+ Rd8
RxR Qf7
RxQ#
This time I should have it right:
1.Qg7+ Qxg7 2.Rc8+ Rd8 3.Rxd8+ Qf8 4.Rxf8#
As long as you don’t get misled by Qd3 (the knight takes with discovered check), this is pretty simple- just divert the black queen from d8:
1. Qg7 Qg7
2. Rc8 with mate to follow.
Fast and furious. 🙂
1. Qg7+ Qxg7
2. Rc8+ Rd8
3. Rxd8+ Qf8
4. Rxf8#

1.Qg7+! Qxg7 2.Rc8+ Rd8 3.Rxd8+ Qf8
4.Rxf8#.
1.Qc8+ instead doesn’t work because of Rd8.
Qg7+
1.Qg7+ Qxg7
2.Rc8+ Rd8
3.Rxd8+ Qf8
4.Rxf8#
Qh8+ Kxh8 (forced)
Rd8+ Qe8
Rxe8++
1. Qg7+ QxQ
2. Rc8+ Rd8
3. RxR+ Qf8
4. RxQ#
Mark
Qg7+ Qxg7
Rc8+ Rd8 (..Qf8 Rxf8++)
Rxd8+ Qf8
Rxf8++
