Deadly open file.
This reminds me of one of the Computer Workouts.

Thanks for the mental strain!

 

It could be mate in 3, with:
1. Rh8+ Kxh8 2. Qh1+ Kg8 3. Qh7#

yeah the mate in 4 moves makes more sense to me

Avatar of mosskyle

I don't understand the second rook sacrifice.  You could move 2Qh1+ and then have mate in 3, right?

You guys, it was obviously to get him in a feeding-frenzy making him think he was finishing the game with suicide after suicide. His way works best.

yeah it can be mate in 3, but i like my suicides, makes life look cool =)

Avatar of boyerbcb77

Yeah, why the extra rook sacrafice?  Could have done the same without it.

Avatar of ty4playing

Yes, it's technically mate-in-four, because the Bishop on e7 could be brought in the path of the Queen.

The extra Rook sac is just evil, like torturing an opponent.  Tut-tut.  Wink

Avatar of SpeedyGonzales

The correct moves are1. Rh8+ Kxh8 2. Rh1+ Kg8 3. Rh8+ Kxh8 4. Qh1+ Kg8 5. Qh7#.

But isn´t it much easier to use the queen instead of the rook who was at the beginning on A1?
