White to move and win
[need a hint?]
[Solution]

White to move &
win
1.Bxh7+ Kh8
White's last move was easy to see, but did you spot
White's next move?
2.Bg6+
Interfering with the black queen's ability to protect
her king. Sometimes this is called breaking the lines of
communication.
2.Ng6+ also works, albeit a move slower: 2...fxg6
3.Bxg6+ Kg8 4.Rh8+ Kxh8 5.Qh5+ Kg8 6.Qh7 mate.
2...Kg8 3.Rh8+
A clearance sacrifice to clear the way for the white
queen to enter the fray. 3.Qh5 also mates.
3...Kxh8 4.Qh5+ Kg8 5.Qh7 mate
