White to move and win

[need a hint?]     [Solution]     [archive]

 

White to move & win

1.Qxf3 Nf4

If Black takes the proffered queen he gets executed, post haste: 1...Rxf3 2.Rc8+ Bxc8 3.Re8+ Rf8 4.Rxf8 mate.

Analysis Diagram: after 4.Rxf8 mate

Another try, 1...Rg8, meets with the simple but effective 2.Qxg2  White simply takes the money (material) & runs, with an easy win due to his overwhelming material superiority.

2.Qxf4

It worked with the pawn - it works with the knight!  The simple fact is that Black's rook cannot leave the back rank or he gets mated.

2...Kg8 3.Bh7+

Removal of the guard!  The black king must abandon his rook to White's voracious queen.

3...Kxh7 4.Qxf8

White won't be long in putting an end to Black's dreams of perpetual check; with his overwhelming material superiority and the continuing insecurity of the black king, White wins easily.
