One I spotted the other day
Sort:
This is how I remember it, there may be a mistake or two. It came from matchplay.
Very nice. I don't see any mistakes. The threat of Nf7+ coupled with the back rankers is too strong. (e.g. 1. ... Rg5 2. Nf7+ Kg8 3. Re8+ Bf8 4. Rxf8#)
1. ... Bxe1 2. Nf7+ wins the queen with a dual attack on the b3 knight and f6 pawn at the end.
1...Bxe1 is probably black's best shot, but nowhere near strong enough; the King is in such a terrible situation.

After 1...Qe6 2.Ng6? hxg6 3.Rxe6 gxh5. Correct is 2.Nf7+ as shown after 1...Qc7. After 1...Qd5 2.Nf7+ is also better than Ng6+ due to 2...Qxf7 3.Qxf7 with the triple threat of Qxf6+, Re8, and Qxb3.
