1. Qxh6+ Kxh6
2. Rh4+ Kg5 (2… Kg7 3. Rh7#)
3. f4+ Kxh4
4. g3+ Kh3
5. Bf1#
What a beautiful mate!
1. Qxh6+ Kxh6
2. Rh4+ (a) Kg7
3. Rh7#

I haven’t worked out.

My niveau : I find Qxh6+ and the mate up in the corner, only very short of posting my ‘solution’ do I stumble upon Kg5. Gladly, in the tactic puzzle world, there is a happy end for everything
Very cute! And it happened in an actual game…!
I love it when the lady gives it up for the team
Mate in five. Fairly straight-forward and obvious idea.
1.Qxh6+ Kxh6
2. Rh4+ Kg5
If 2. … Kg7 3. Rh7 mate
3. f4+ Kxh4
4. g3+ Kh3
5. Bf1 mate
queen sacrifice on h6+ followed by rook+ then pawn+…KxR pawn+ Kh3 and Bf1++
This is very pretty, and all the more so because of all the distractions that one has to look past.
This is how I see it (but I’ve been wrong before):
1. Qxh6+ Kxh6
2. R-h4+ K-g5
3 P-f4+ KxR
4. P-g3+ K-h3
5. B-f1#

3. f4+! Kxh4
4. g3+ Kh3
5. Bf1#
Cute!
