@WolfKid18 gets 150 points. Actually, Rh4 isn't the move that wins the game. The correct response to Rh4 is f6, and Qh8 doesn't checkmate. The correct response is Bf6, and anything mates.

We're solving for white, not for black. I should have made that clear when I posted the puzzle, but I assumed everyone was solving for White due to the attack.

This puzzle is very tough at a rating of 3297. White to move and win. Notice that this time, we are not looking for checkmate.

Nxe6 fxe6 Rxg6+

@NiceKueen gets 150 points for an attempted variation. Nxe6 is not the move we are looking for.

You could totally look at the solution for each puzzle, but that would ruin the game for everyone. You don't want to do that.

I am not sure what you mean by white to win but not looking for checkmate.  Does that mean to better white's position?

Anyway, here's a stab at it:

1. Nxf7, Raxf7 2. Rxg6+, R7g7 3. Qd3

If 3...Rxg6, then 4. Qxg6+

 

White to move and win means gaining an winning advantage for white through a combination. A winning advantage means a 2.50 advantage or above for white or black.

Unfortunately, @Copernicus was too late to gain 150 points. Posting the full variation within the same minute will still give you 150 points.

Here is the solution:

There is no time frame, but once one person responds correctly or attempts to respond correctly, the next person to attempt won't get any points (For example, if @WolfKid18 attempted the full variation, you get nothing if you attempt, but get full 200 points if your variation is correct).

The one exception is when two people respond within the same minute. They both get the same amount of points.
