Hint for the problem: a good Queen loves her Knights. :)
ResponderExcluirNot enough of hints for me! 😂
ExcluirUnbelievably, the key is a queen sacrifice: 1 Qf5! [threats 2 Ra7+ Ke8 3 Re7 (or 2 ... Kg8 3 Rg7), 2 Kd7 (threat 3 Sh8)]. The threats are separated by 1 ... c5 2 Ra7+ etc. and 1 ... Bxd4 2 Kd7 any 3 Sh8, and the distant selfblock 1 ... Bxf5 leads to 2 Ra7+ Kxe6 3 Sf4 (or 2 ... Kxg6 3 Rg7).
