yadasampati 14-Jan-13, 15:07 » Report abuse	I agree A not very complex but elegant combination
cliveva 14-Jan-13, 16:31 » Report abuse	nice a pretty mate, ta!
bugz2 14-Jan-13, 16:36 » Report abuse	another solution another solution is the obvious g x h7 ch, followed by Ng6 mate
romeolips 14-Jan-13, 16:43 » Report abuse	bugz2 that's not mate Black can take fxg6 because the king has already moved to h8 when you checked with the pawn capture.
fezzik 14-Jan-13, 18:04 » Report abuse	Simple and attractive 81% Solve rate shows this isn't too easy for most people. 2 Stars Difficulty due to the multiple defense Black has and the possibility that people will mistakenly play 1.gxh6+?. 3 Stars Aesthetics
yadasampati 15-Jan-13, 08:46 » Report abuse	@bugz2 I can recommend to try out "Another solution", when you think there is one. Hold your mouse over the "Options" link in the right bottom of the puzzle window, and you will get a pop-up window with that option
