White to move — find the best continuation
Solution & explanation
Main line
41. Qxg6+ Kh8 42. Qh5+ Kg7 43. Rg1+ Qg2+ 44. Rxg2#
Why it works
- Great move! queen to g6 keeps the pressure (#3).
- Spot on — queen to h5 (#2).
- Precise: rook to g1 is the top choice (#1).
- Great move! rook to g2 keeps the pressure (#).
- The line ends in a forced mate in 4.
- If instead Kh8, then Qh5+ and you stay on top.
