White has sacrificed a lot of material to get to this
point, three pieces in fact. But now White has just two pieces
left, aside from his king, while the black king seems to be able to
hide behind - ironically - white's own pawns! What to
do? Clear a path for that rook to join in the king hunt!
1.Qf6+ Kxh5 And now a second clearance
sacrifice: 2.g4+ Kxg4
Ah, that's much better now - for White! Both of Black's moves so
far have been forced. 3.Rg1+ Kh5
Of course, Black can choose the method of his demise:
3...Qg2+ 4.Rxg2+ Kh3 5.Qh6#; or
3...Kh3 4.Qf3+ Kh4 5.Qg4# 4.Qf3+ Kh6 5.Qh3#
