Sorry I messed up the setup the first time đŸ™„

White to move and win material, you must be winning at the end

bxc7=Q+,Rxc7,Rb1+.

 

If king moves it's mate in 3 to-Qd5+qblocks, Qxb7#

So the black queen has to block and then the rook takes which leads to a rook bishop vs queen endgame that is winning for white.

Good job finding one of the solutions. There is another trickier solution, however and I will give two trophies to anyone who sees it.

White has to keep giving cecks or it's mate in 3

zachertz

Yes, that is true, the tricky solution is entirely composed of checks

ok, I will try to find it

The other way I think is-Bxc7=Rook, Kb7, Qb5#

zachertz

But they can take back with the other rook. I’ll give you a hint, it does not begin with Bxc8 . . .

If they take with the other rook it will lead to the first solution

zachertz

Alright, the first move of the special line is Rxc8+

Then black plays Kingxb7

zachertz

Then you just take the second rook and you are up a rook and pawn for a bishop

zachertz

The cool line is when black takes back with the rook. What do you do then?

If u take the other rook, it's mate in three for black to-Qe3+,Kh1,Qc1+,Qe1blockingthecheck, Qxe1#

If that, Qxa7+,Kingx,Bxc7=Knight with a fork attacking the king and the queen.
