White to move — find the best continuation
Solution & explanation
Main line
32. Bh4+ Kg6 33. Qg3+ Qg4 34. Qxg4+ Kh6 35. Qg5#
Why it works
- Best move. bishop to h4 is exactly what the engine plays (#3).
- Spot on — queen to g3 (#2).
- Precise: queen to g4 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 Kg6, then Qg3+ and you stay on top.
