the power of passed pawns
Sort:
Intresting puzzle I put together. Feel free to tell me what you think and if you find and flaws tell me. Good luck
I think white has better. 1. Qh4+ Bh7 2. f7 threatening Bf6# and also Qxh7# 2. ... Rxf7 3. gxf7 Kg7 4. Qh6+ Kh8 5. Bf6# (or 3. ... Nd5 4. Bf6+ Nxf6 5. Qxf6#)
Very good I like the use of a pin
2... Rxh7 is not good. Black can instead push his pawns starting with 2... b2.
Loomis how can Qh5 work when the knight simply takes the queen?

Sorry, should have been Qh4, I'll fix the typo.
Interesting, except for the typo. Thanx

1.g7+ wins easily ...Kh7 2.Qf5+ Ng6 3.Qh3+ Nh4 4.Qxh4+ Kg6 5.Qe4+ Kxg5 (5...Kf7 6.Qd5+) 6.Qe3+. Also easy is 1.Bxf4 b2 2.g7+ Kh7 3.Qh5#
