![]() 2. Rh3 h6 3. Ng6+ Kh7 4. Nxf8+ Rdxf8 5. Qf5+ Kh8 6. Rxh6+ gxh6 7. Qh7# OR 1. ... Qc4 2. Rh3 h6 3. Ng6+ Nxg6 4. Qxh6+ gxh6 5. Rxh6# So I don't know why the continuation says ... f5 and why white doesn't play Rh3 after ...f5 |

I can guessEngine's fail? Very, very unlikely in such a tactic and "mate in few" kind of situation. We could have missed something. More "human" moves from black like 1... Rd5 also fail to Ng6+. The alt is interesting: clearly inferior, it bets that to mantain the mate threat, and compelling the black queen to stay anchored to the defence of h7 whorts not to have taken it with the rook. But white is unable to keep the pressure, and doesn't see a way to escape the black queen checks, so start to defend, and his attack loses steam. The queen sac shown in the problem just delays the mate two moves, when white would spend one "stupid" tempo just putting the rook back where it was before taking the queen, h3, with the same deadly threat than before. Having no better moves than "f5" (that doesn't solve black's problems) it is really strange the computer doesn't go after Rh3 again. Maybe this shows the fundamental difference between a human and a computer. The queen's sac doesn't save black, but it is still an option for a machine. Not for a human. But the mystery is why black goes with Nxf5, a move that throws away the key point of white's mate threat (Ng6+). Something that even a medium rated player would not have done, given he understanded where the strengh of white's position really lied on. But the computer does! |

![]() So after 1. ... Qc4 2. Rh3 Qd3 3. Rxd3 f5 4. Rh3 Rd6! 5. Ng6+ Rxg6 And 4. Ng6+ Nxg6 5. Rh3 Nf8! White can't mate! Computer is correct. |
