White to move and win

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

 

White to move & win

1.Qg7+ Qg6

If 1...Kxh4 2.h3 Threatening mate on both h6 and g4.

2.Rg4+

Skewering the queen, or forcing a removal of the guard, which is the poison that Black chooses.

2...Kxg4 3.Qxg6+ Kf4 4.Re1

Threatening mate with Re4.

4...Rae8

4...Rfe8 is six of one, half-a-dozen of the other.

5.g3+ Kf3 6.Qf5# [I suppose I have to give equal credit to 6.Qh5, which also mates.]
