Hi Richard and all,
Once again I found many different moves available that I looked at.
Both sides have possibilities of putting the other in checkmate.
I first looked at the move:
1. Nf7+
This seemed like a good move since it put the Black king in check plus
threatened the queen at the same time.
But even if Black moved his king and sacrificed his queen on g5, Black could
still win in the next 3 moves.
1. Nf7+ Kg1
2. Nxg5 Rfxg2+
3. Kh1 Rgh2+
4. Kg1 Rbg2#
But here is the best move for white (Especially since it puts white as the
winner!)
1. Qf8+ Rxf8
2. Rxf8#
The only time you should sacrifice a queen is for a win!
Chris
