    how about mate in 2 instead, rook to h7

    That would be fabulous.  How do you do it?

    I wonder if Sutovsky saw it all the way to the end when he did the Qxh7+.

    I saw the next couple of moves, and knew that this was a puzzle where queen-sac is often the key to success, so I did it. But doing that in a game is a very different challenge.  I would have to visualize all six moves just looking at the board.

    It would certainly be very risky to sac the queen if you did not see it led to checkmate.

    Here it is:-

[EventDate "?"]
[Round "6"]
[Result "1-0"]
[White "Emil Sutovsky"]
[Black "Ilya Smirin"]
[ECO "B23"]
[WhiteElo "2657"]
[BlackElo "2683"]
[PlyCount "47"]

1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. Nf3 e5 4. Bc4 d6 5. d3 Be7 6. O-O Nf6
7. Ng5 O-O 8. f4 exf4 9. Bxf4 h6 10. Nf3 Be6 11. Nd5 Bxd5

Kh7 17. Nf5 cxd3 18. Qxd3 Kh8 19. Rae1 Qb6 20. Qh3+ Nh7
21. Rxe7 c4+ 22. Kh1 Qxb2 23. Re4 Rg8 24. Qxh7+ 1-0
     
    It ends where it does because Black must have resigned at move 24 !

    Got it on the first try. It sort of dictates itself when look for the best move. Very nice.
