Solution & explanation
Main line
31. Qf6+ Kd6 32. Nc4+ Kd7 33. Qf7+ Kc8 34. Nb6#
Why it works
- Best move. queen to f6 is exactly what the engine plays (#3).
- Spot on — knight to c4 (#2).
- Precise: queen to f7 is the top choice (#1).
- Best move. knight to b6 is exactly what the engine plays (#).
- The line ends in a forced mate in 4.
- If instead Kd6, then Nc4+ and you stay on top.
