Here are examples from the EPD [D]r4q1k/p2bR1rp/2p2Q1N/5p2/5p2/2P5/PP3PPP/R5K1 w - - bm Rf7; id "WAC.008 Rf7 is the fastest way to win but Nf7+ is probably also winning. Another example(more convincing) [D]r2rb1k1/pp1q1p1p/2n1p1p1/2bp4/5P2/PP1BPR1Q/1BPN2PP/R5K1 w - - bm Qxh7+; id "WAC.014"; Qxh7+ is mate in 4 but Ne4 is another way to win the game inspite of the fact that there is no forced mate in the near future.
