White to move and win
[need a hint?]
[Solution]
[archive]
1.Ne6 exf4
1...fxe6 leads directly to checkmate - 2.Rg7+ Kh8
3.Rxh7+ Kg8 4.Rbg7 mate.
Analysis Diagram: after 4.Rbg7 mate
Nor does 1...Re8 help: 2.Re7 and Black can't capture
either the knight or the rook as both lead directly to mate, can you
see how?
2.Rxf7 Rxf7
If 2...Re8 then White mates as in the diagram above:
3.Rg7+ Kh8 4.Rxh7+ Kg8 5.Rbg7 mate.
3.Rb8+ Rf8 4.Rxf8 mate
Notice how the rook gives mate and also covers the
f7-square, while the knight protects the rook and covers the
g7-square, cutting off the king's escape. This is a mating
position you should remember!
