This is my attempt at a solution...<BR/><BR/>1.Rh2+ gives two Black a choice of two moves. If Kg7 then 2. Rg2+ Kf8 (or anywhere) 3. Rxg8 Kxg8 and White wins because he can get his King to the square d4.<BR/><BR/>If after 1.Rh2+ Black plays Qh7 then Rxh7 doesn't work so 2.Kg2 Kg7 (or g8) 3. Rxh7+ and again White will get to the d4 square and win.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517158230340317999noreply@blogger.com
