Post Chess Puzzle (medium)
Image

This came from one of my games. This position, right here is winning for white. Here, white has a winning move. (sadly, I played be5??) and although I won the game, I missed this wonderful combination.

White to play and win.

The "hide" tabs don't seem to be working on this post. Move to post 5 for the answers.

Haven't looked that in depth, so could very easily be wrong :) The series that seemed to jump out at me was 1.Bh6+ if 1...Bg7 then 2.h8=Q# and if instead 1...Ke8 then 2.Bg7

Is that correct?

I guess my puzzles are too easy... Yes you got it right themofro. I'm posting the answers at the bottom of the page since those hide tags don't seem to work.

Hidden Text Below - [Show it] - [Hide it Again]



You're using [hide]text here[/*hide] but without the asterick in closing half, right?

Play should go...

Hidden Text Below - [Show it] - [Hide it Again]



It works in every other post except that one... Don't know why but it works on this one.
Credits go to themofro for this post.

Wow, this puzzle is really cool. Thanks for posting :)

Also, I have no idea why the hide tags weren't working there. But at least they're working now.
