If this IS the correct position, there are some interesting variations but I
simply cannot find White's mate:
1.Rd3! Kc4 2.Rh3+ Kxd4
[2...Kb3? 3.g3! mates: 3...Bxd4 4.g4+ Bc3 5.Ke6 d4 6.Kd5 d3
7.Bxd3 Bf6 8.Bc4#]
3.Ke6
[3.Be3+ Ke5 4.Bxh6 d4]
[3.Rd3+ Kc5]
[3.Rh4+ Kc5 4.Be3+ d4]
3...Nb3
Am I wasting my time on the WRONG position? Or am I missing a better move for
White?
Somebody please assist!
