isn't 4.Qh8 is checkmate?
Endgames
Right I didn't notice that, thnx heatsh.
Another puzzle:
Look in move list for alternates, the solution is NOT exactly forced.
EDIT: The knight combination in analysis can be used many other times than done in analysis, for example in the second "blue" subline, instead of Kf7 white can play Ne6 and get the mate in 2, it can be stopped by continuing checks with the black rook, it won't last forever, sorry for the mistake.
after 1. ..Rg8 white has a quicker win: 2.Rxg8+ Kxg8 3.e8=Q# or e8=R#
Also, #1 is mate in five after 3. ...h2+
Those last two were nice.
I didn't solve the second to last one though that called for Kf7, I tried g6 but it wasn't as good as the correct move.
2.Kf7 c2
3.Bf8 c1=Q
4.g6+ Kh8
5.Bg7#
I already knew it had other answers, but the one I posted was the easiest (in my opinion(lol)).
Thanks for the note anyway!
This puzzle has 2 solutions, I'll only post one.Mate in 5:
