White to move — find the best continuation
Solution & explanation
Main line
32. Qg7+ Kh5 33. Qh7+ Kg4 34. Qxg6+ Kh4 35. Qg5#
Why it works
- Best move. queen to g7 is exactly what the engine plays (#3).
- Spot on — queen to h7 (#2).
- Precise: queen to g6 is the top choice (#1).
- Best move. queen to g5 is exactly what the engine plays (#).
- The line ends in a forced mate in 4.
- If instead Kh5, then Qh7+ and you stay on top.
