Sorry about the double post. I feel that endgames (even puzzles of endgames) are better appriciated here for reasons I rather not get into... Innocent

Anyway, here you go.

Qxh6, gxh6 (otherwise Nf6+, gxf6, Qh7#), Nf6+, Kh8, Rh7#.

EDIT: That's not the right solution, after Ra6.

Nf6 leads to mate in all variations.

Wow, I never saw 1.Qxh6. Like Goldendog posted, I found 1.Nf6 which is more forcing since every move is check.

The puzzle is nice, but the title is even nicer. Can opener. Very descriptive. Imagine how you make Black displace his g7 pawn.

The first thing I saw was Qxh6
