    First one to find the correct move and why it works gets a trophy! :D

    (From one of my recent games, black to move and force mate)

    Sorry adam that is not the correct answer. I would explain why, but I'm not giving any hints.

    And please no engines that would spoil the fun :)

    Just me being stupid again :). How about this? The taking is forced because otherwise I'd get the Rook on f1.

    I first thought a Queen sac would do it because of the rook on g6.

    your line wins, but does not force mate, as he does not have to take

    Do I have to get all the moves or just the first one?

    you have to get the first move and explain why it works. When someone fills that criteria, I will post all lines showing how it forces a mate.

    Here is a hint: it forces a mate in 7

    I thought you said you weren't giving any hints?

    good job Horatio you win!

    It appeared in a recent game, and I won it. I put it into the computer after the game to learn that there is no way black can escape! I dont need to post the lines here because you did. Good job!

    is this what Horatio posted, or is this refuted?

    Edit: I forgot to add a bishop check to prolong the mate. Also, I did not see Kh2 till later and that is why it is not the main line.
