Hello Puzzlers,
What about the rook taking the pawn for a deflecting move? Then, queen
takes h5 pawn for check.
Doctor Z is ready to operate. My solution:
1. Rxg7
Variation 1:
1. …Rxg7
2. Qxh5+ Kd8
3. Qh8+ Rg8
4. Qxg8+ mate.
Variation 2:
1. …Qxe6
2. Rxh7 Ra8
3. Re2 Qxe2
4. Qxe2+ Kd8
5. Qe6 Ne7
6. Qxe7+ Kc8
7. Rh8+ mate.
Variation 3:
1. …Rh8
2. Qxh5+ Rxh5
3. Rg8+ mate.
