I dont understand why to k6 instead of just taking the bishop.?

sorry but this is a mate in 4 (not in 3):

1.Rxf7+ Kxf7 2.Bxe6+ Kg6?
( 2...Kxe6! 3.Qg8+ Ke7 4.Nd5# )
3.Qe8# *

Nice n' easy! Very interesting on ...Kg6 for if KxB then Qe8++.  The black king becomes boxed in and all after black has one move to mate (Qh2++) but cannot after persistent check! I just don't care for these games where you are saved by persistent check. Can someone tell me if scenerios like this are common as I have not encountered them in play as of yet.

BTW : I am able to mate in 3. Am I missing something??

cool

cool

Iph a) 2..Kxe6 3. Qe8++ is the correct move thus mate in 3! 

Best regards,

easy

good one for me

4...Be7

Art I'm afraid Qe8 is not checkmate. Qe8 then Be7.

Good one

first.

Not cool at all; Mate in 4

Good race.

what about 2...Kxd6 and its not mate in 3

easy one

In answer to #58, if on whites fourth move Nd5, what is stopping black queen to E1 for #?

kinda hard
