1. Ng6+! Nxg6
2. Bxg6
or even better....
1. Nxd5 cxd5
2. Bxd5 Rxd5!! and the knight cannot recapture becasue Ng6#
1. Ng6+ Nxg6
2. Rxh7+ Kxh7
3. Rh1#
br Rainer
ooops.....meant to say...
1. Nxd5 cxd5
2. Bxd5 Rxd5
3. Rxd5 and now the knight can't recapture.
Rainer's answer is the most correct one.
I believe
1. Ng6+ Nxg6
2. Rxh7+ Kxh7
3. R-h1++
I think that should be good
1.Nxd5
This does win easily, but it's not "the best move."
1. Nxd5 cxd5
2. Bxd5 Rxd5
2...g5 gets Black out of trouble.
1. Ng6 Nxg6
2. Rxh7 Kxh7
3. Rh1 mate
Nice.
