White to move and win

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

 

White to move & win

1.Re8+ Kh7

1...Bf8 2.Rxf8+ Kh7 (Other tries don't work either: 2...Kxf8 3.Nf5+ Kg8 4.Qf8+ Kxf8 5.Rd8#; or 2...Kg7 3.Ne8+ Kg6 4.Rd6+ Kh7 5.Qd3+ f5 6.Rd7+ Kg6 7.Rf6+ Kh5 8.Ng7+ Kh4 9.Rxh6#) 3.Rxf7+ etc.

2.Qd3+

Double attack!  Black has to take care of check, and so has no time to save the rook.  White wins.

2...f5 3.Qxc2
