From a game between two female players. How did red ( to play ) force a win in six moves ? 

Highlight the space below for solution:

1.          C7+2+       A4+5

2.          C7-4 +       A5-4

3.          C7+4+       A4+5

4.          C7-5+        A5-4

5.          C7=5+       K5=6

6.          R9-4   

 

A horse retreat is prohibited since the black king will be face to face with his counterpart.  Black has no more than a spite check which can be easily parried with a cannon retreat.
