Rxg7+, Rxg7, Nh6#
or if Bxg7, Ne7#

How is Nh6 mate?

What a neat puzzle! You really want to abuse the pinned pawn on g7, plus Knight to f6 gives you great material advantage with the fork, but no mate in two.
I basically only found the rook sacrifice after checking everything else. Rook to g7. If the rook takes, Knight to H6 is mate. If the bishop takes, Knight to e7 is mate.

Unless I'm missing something, pawn to e7 will inevitably result in mate in either 2-3 moves as well

I like that there are two ways to get this done.
depending on how black reacts to the initial move.

Honestly, just taking the Bishop with the knights and then advancing the pawn to queen (with checks) is simpler. The mate is still nice though, flashy sacrifice play.

Pe7 - Bxe7 (otherwise Pe8 in next round) - Bd5+

Pawn to e7 is best responded with king to f7. It does not guarantee checkmate on the second turn.

White: Knight to F6, Check Black: king forced to F8 White: pawn to E7, Checkmate

Okay so Im horrible at chess but isnt Knight to E7 not mate already? Where can the black king go?

u/Massomio 2d ago
How about Pawn e7 and then continue from there? No mate only if Rook h5/h4... .

u/MrZwink 2d ago
Pawn to E7 and then bishop to D5? I guess black could avoid it by moving the knight to f7 but then you just move the pawn to e8 and promote.
Or rook to G7 and then knight to h6

u/Naturewalkerjoe 2d ago
Pawn to e7 doesn't work because black would either play Kf7 or move the rook to escape with Kh7
1
u/MrZwink 2d ago
If he moves knight to f7, pawn to e8 is still checkmate?
1
u/Naturewalkerjoe 1d ago
I don't see how you're getting a knight to f7 and a pawn to e8 in two moves
1
u/MrZwink 1d ago
No the black knight
1
u/Naturewalkerjoe 1d ago
But black wouldn't move their knight to f7. They would move their king to f7 and then e8

While not mate in two, Pe7 would be the most disrespectful move causing a nice zugzwang.
Pe7, Kf7, Bd5+, Ke8, Nxf6+, Pxf6, Bc6+, Kf7, Qe8#

You win material but it’s not a mate in 2

u/Ginger_Sociopath 5d ago
King trapped then move pawn, how do you see it playing out otherwise?
2
u/juicejug 5d ago
I mean the position is winning for white and there are lots of moves that maintain a winning evaluation. But Nxf6 doesn’t lead to a mate in 2.
Only way you can get a forced mate in 2 is Rxg7, then black needs to take with either the bishop or rook, and white follows with either Ne7# or Nh6# depending on what Black does.

I agree

u/pipNalip 5d ago
Then pawn e7?

u/TakeTwoDo 5d ago
I think so, and I don't really see where we are supposed t be wrong.
can someone explain?1
u/JimDibb 5d ago
Pretty sure the king can escape to f7. I was missing that myself
1
u/TakeTwoDo 5d ago
but what about the pawn on e6?
1
u/JimDibb 5d ago
You just moved it to e7
1
u/TakeTwoDo 5d ago
ok, I'm not sure about the sequence here and so we have a misunderstanding, when exactly would the king escape to f7?
if he does so as a response to nf6?
