White's basic idea is to get the Black king on the b1-h7 diagonal | |
1.Qd4+ | Kg5 |
2.Qf6+ | Kg4 |
3.Qf3+ | Kg5 |
4.Qg3+ | Bg4 |
If 3... Kf5 4.Qd3+ wins the Black queen | |
5.Qh4+!! | |
This rather forces the issue! If 5... Kf5 6.Qf6+ Ke4 7.Qd4+ Kf5 8.Qd3+ or if 5... Kf4 6.Qf2+ Bf3+ 7.Qxf3+ Kg5 8.Qg3+ Kf5 9.Qd3+ | |
5... | Kxh4 |
6.Bf6# | |
