Puzzle solution

Message:
I'm but not sure if this is the quickest way to do it, but I think it works, tell me if I'm wrong:

1. Rh5+ Rxh5
2. g5+ Rxg5
3. hxg5+ Kh5
4. Rh2+ Kg4
5. Rg2+ Kh5
6. Qf3+ Kh4 (if 6...Qg4 then 7. Qxg4#)
7. Qg3+ Kh5
8. Rh2+ Nh4 (if 8...Qh3 then 9. Rxh3)
9. Qxh4+ Kg6
10. Qh6#

From all of my analysis this seems to be a force mate, but it seems a little roundabout of a solution for a chess puzzle.

... by following the sophisticated game plan defined by that rather obscure Chess legend, Mr Tim Eout, (a Kiwi I think) I have managed to win my last three team games - can highly recommend this strategy to all GBH'ers!!!

Trouble is,

Tim's simple strategy requires the total co-operation of one's opponent, and I have noticed that occasionally that doesn't happen.

Anita ..... apart from being a great "Aussie chick", you have been the life & soul of the GBH party for some time and your leaving, which we all hope can be temporary, will leave us all feeling a great sense of loss and nursing a severely bruised psyche.

I wish you well and I know everyone else on the GBH team will as well.

Hope you can work through the issues and come out the other end soon - stay the same Neeta we have all loved and enjoyed.

I will keep you to your promise of a drink in Sydney soon, but in the interim, there is one imponderable ..... who the hell will console Carpe????

Following the very sad withdrawal of Neeta from the team - hopefully a temporary absence - muppyman has agreed to continue in the event and will play the winner of the vesa and snowdog game in Round 2.

Thanks Tom.

Please ensure that the results of each of the remaining Round 1 games are sent to me as soon as practicable after their completion.

Thanks all.

March 12 Team Notes

Message:
CONGRATULATIONS BOUNTY HUNTERS !!!
Over the weekend, we established a new ALL TIME HIGH SCORE for our team: +253, surpassing our previous record of +247.
Sunday evening, GameKnot performed one of its periodic purges of obsolete games. These are games by former teammates where neither player is still a member of GameKnot.
There were over 100 Bounty Hunter games purged, thus our number of games dropped from 9277 on Friday to 9143 today.
Last time this process was run, we gained about 12 unexpected points, however, this time we lost 8, setting us back to +244. So we must reclaim the 250 mark then its on to 300!!

Go Bounty Hunters.

March 19 Team Notes

Message:
CONGRATULATIONS BOUNTY HUNTERS !!!
Over the weekend, we established a new ALL TIME HIGH SCORE for our team: +262, surpassing our previous record of +253.

Team Notes will not be available Wednesday, 3/21 thru Friday 3/23 as my wife and I move 35 years of "stuff" 300 miles to our new home. If I survive, Team Notes will return on Monday, 3/26.
There will also be a lag in finding new games for you during this period, but I will get caught up upon my return.

Go Bounty Hunters.
