Puzzle

I came across this puzzle the other day.





White to play and win.











1. Rh5! is decisive. (1. Qxc3 does nothing and leaves white a pawn down).












After the forced 1... gxh5, black's king is horribly exposed.











2. Rg5+! is the winning move.













As 2... Kh8 (forced) is met with 3. Qh6#.

    Hey... very nice page..
    I'm old retired chess master just recently returned to chess and started a blog, was wondering if you'd consider doing a link exchange or some sort of inline link?

    Here is my site..
