PUZZLE in the CASTLE: #2, Forced Checkmate, "Smash his Castle"
Sort:
Finding move 10 gave me considerable trouble.
I had to get help for move# 10 - that was rough for some reason! Nice puzzle... my head is killing me now.
nice puzzle but move 10 was hard nice moves though and how did you think of that puzzle
well i got ony 1 move rong wich was 10.

Thank you for the comment, Chess.com ROCKS!!!
a very good puzzle - got move 10 relatively ok but move 4 got me stuck for aggges!
No offense, but wouldn't Bxh7+,Ng5,Qf3,Ne7,Qf6 be checkmate?

What's the threat after Qf3, other than Qh3, followed by Ne6+ and Qh6, mating soon? How does Kg7 stop it?

RXN ? KXQ?
Yes.
5...Kxf6! Geez!
It's interesting to note that after 4. Re7 then 4. ... Qxe7 is forced as the other variations lead to checkmate. This effectively trades the Queen for a rook and knight, but it's probably not as good as the given solution.
Same problem from my first post of PUZZLE in the CASTLE, I said from my first post that there will be 2 options of attack to make a huge win for white. This time find the 2nd option, "Smash his Castle".
TIP: Force the move of Black.
