It might be possible, from what I see, black has the pawn advantage so after queens and a rook or two are traded, I see black winning, but white has a chance of escaping this situation...maybe

I don't see a forced mate.  I think black is better, but his king isnt safe either, and if he tries too hard for a forced mate that doesn't exist, he could lose.

@anonymous100  3. Ng5+

also i think that since black cant force mate, white will gain better material  with its onslaught on the black's king but then again im noob and can't see that far ahead ^^

pretty sweet game! i want to get into that position as white! lol

hehe, as I hinted earlier but didnt give the move, I think black will get mated if he plays 2.Qh3.  2...Ng5+ would actually be a mistake since it only draws.

ManicDragon:  not sure what happens though if White plays 2 Rad1 (after 1... Kd7).

If I was white with black to move, I doubt I could escape it.

White can escape an immediate mate.

 Why doesn't white take the rook with the knight?
