Find the win

I found this nifty winning combination in going over a recent game.  White to play. Who can find the win?

Technically, there are two winning moves, but one of them only forces a repetition back to this position, where you then have to find the *real* winning move.  I was pretty tickled by it when the engine revealed it to me.

damn, would have never found this.

Llama, did you find it without an engine?

For anyone seeking a hint, the key is to find a way to use *all* of white's pieces.  One can't pull its full weight at the moment.

I'll post the solution tomorrow.

Is Nf6+ the "real winning move" as said in #1?

Nope!

I was trying to discoruage engine use.  Will post it in proper form tomorrow.

c5!!

Wow.

So is it Qxf7+ or Rg7+ or anything else?

That's the move!  Did you find it on your own?  Here's the full solution and explanation.

Crazy puzzle.

Whoa! Beautiful idea. But what if black takes c5 with the Bishop rather than the queen?

If 31. ..Bxc5?? 32. Qg7# checkmate.

This is the prettiest combination I've seen in a while.   Interference is not as rare a tactic as people think, but it is often missed.

This is the hardest puzzle I’ve ever seen before...

Thanks for the explanation

Glad people liked this.

I wish I could have found it in the game...

That would be super cool
