Hello all,
Doctor Z has his scalpel ready. My solution:
1. N g5+ (Knight checks king and frees the rook on the e-file threatening
the
black knight. White is taking control of the e and d files with rooks.)
The black king could move to escape check.
1. -K e7
2. Qx e6 (Queen takes knight.) Kf8
3. Qf7++ (Queen checkmates with protection from knight.)
1. -Kg7
2. Nx e6 (Knight takes knight.) Kf7
3. Nxd8 (Knight takes queen.) R a xd8 (Bishop cannot take knight since
pinned.)
4. Rd7+ Rxd7 (Rook takes rook.)
5. Qxd7+ (Queen takes rook.) B e7 (blocks check)
6. Qx e7+ (Queen takes bishop.) Kg8
7. B e5 (Bishop controls the long diagonal.) Rh7
8. Q e8++ (King cannot reach g7 because of bishop.)
1. -K e8 or -Kg8
2. Qx e6+ (Queen checks king.)
1. -Kf8
2. Nx e6+ (Knight takes knight.)
Black knight can take the white knight on the first move.
1. -Nxg5 (Knight takes knight.)
2. Rd7+ (Rook checks king.) Qxd7 (Queen takes rook.)
3. Qxd7 (Queen takes queen.)
or
2. -Kg8
3. Qxg6+ (Queen takes pawn.) Kf8
3. Qg7++
or
2. -Kf8
3. Bxg5 (Bishop takes knight.) Rh7
4. Rxd8+ (Rook takes queen.) Rxd8 (Rook takes rook.)
5. Qxf6+ (Queen takes bishop.) Kg8
6. Qxd8+ (Queen takes rook.) Kg7 / Kf7
7. R e7++ (Bishop covers escape squares.)
