HappyPlayingMantis

New here and new to chess... at the end of the Lolli attack.. according to the lesson.. if black queen attacks the white bishop..the white queen can then take the pawn a c 3 and that is checkmate..I get that .but what if the black pawn at C3 takes at B2..then what? I just cant seem to find a good answer. probably right in front of me..but as I said  I am new to all this

Thanks in advance  and ps I dont know how to post the screen shot of  end position of the game I am referring to either !angry.png  but here are three tries!   I could use a bit of help in the posting section as well!!happy.png

Then you have the black king on the run. The computer analysis says it is mate in 6.

The line is... 14. Re4+ Kxd5 15. Qd3+ Kc5 16. Rc4+ Kb517. Qb3+ Ka5 18. Ra4#

It's the sac exchange. Then follow it up with the lawn mower! Simply push the black king to the edge with forcing checks and deliver mate on the a-file.
