After 3….g6×Rh5 white is hopelessly lost.
A classic, but still pretty to look at. You’ll notice black’s pawn on g6, but no bishop on g7, which most likely doesn’t mean any good.
Pretty easy puzzle, but the sacrifice is amazing!
Solution for those who are lost
1. Qh4xh7+ Kg8xh7
2. Re5-h5+ Kh7-g8
3. Rh5-h8#
Exactly, but computer doesnt kill Rh5. It moves the king back. Not sure why? What would happen if it moves kills the rook is the question that I am not able to find an answer to. Can anyone help please?
