No doubt about it...it's a winner. Chessmaster 9000, SKR personality on a P4-2.4, says this: Time Depth Score Positions Moves 0:00 1/5 0.87 20583 1.b4 Bb6 2.c4 dxc4 3.Bxc4 a6 4.Bd3 0:00 1/5 1.31 31844 1.Rg4 Kh8 2.e4 dxe4 3.Bxh6 0:00 1/6 2.03 87028 1.Rg4 f5 2.Qxh6 Ba4 3.Be1 Bb5 4.Bh4 0:00 1/7 1.87 138170 1.Rg4 f5 2.Qxh6 Bb5 3.Rxg7+ Qxg7 4.Qxe6+ Qf7 5.Qxf7+ Rxf7 6.Bxb5 c6 0:01 1/8 1.99 242320 1.Rg4 f5 2.Qxh6 Bb5 3.Rxg7+ Qxg7 4.Qxe6+ Kh8 5.Bxb5 c6 6.Bd3 Rg8 0:03 1/9 2.06 575940 1.Rg4 f5 2.Qxh6 Bb5 3.Rxg7+ Qxg7 4.Qxe6+ Qf7 5.Qxf7+ Rxf7 6.Bxb5 c6 7.Bd3 0:15 1/9 6.55 3301814 1.Rf6 Bb5 2.Bxb5 c6 3.Rxh6 gxh6 4.Rf6 Qxf6 5.exf6 Rfd8 6.Qxh6 0:23 1/10 9.58 5336658 1.Rf6 Bb5 2.Bxb5 Rfd8 3.Rxf7 Qg5 4.Qxg5 hxg5 5.Bd7 c6 6.Bxe6 Re8 0:27 1/11 9.80 6422040 1.Rf6 Bb5 2.Bxb5 Rfd8 3.Rxf7 Qg5 4.Qxg5 hxg5 5.Bd7 c6 6.Bxe6 Re8 7.Re7+ Kh8 0:46 1/12 10.74 11045854 1.Rf6 Bb5 2.Bxb5 Rfd8 3.R1f3 Qf8 4.Rxf7 c6 5.Rxf8+ Rxf8 6.Rxf8+ Rxf8 7.Bd3 c5 8.dxc5 1:26 1/13 11.18 20701070 1.Rf6 Bb5 2.Bxb5 Rfd8 3.R1f3 Qf8 4.Rxf7 c6 5.Rxf8+ Rxf8 6.Rxf8+ Kxf8 7.Bd3 Re8 8.Qg6 Re7 9.e4 4:23 2/14 12.84 61481231 1.Rf6 Bb5 2.Bxb5 Rfd8 3.R1f3 Qf8 4.Rxf7 Kh8 5.Bd3 Qg8 6.R3f6 Qh7 7.Bxh7 gxf6 8.Qxh6 Additionally, after playing around with some lines, I have determined that Rf6 leads to a forced mate in 13 moves (or less). Nice move! Here's what I believe to the best line: 1.Rf6 Bb5 2.Bxb5 Rfe8 3.Bd3 Qxf6 4.exf6 Bb4 5.fxg7 f5 6.Bxf5 exf5 7.Rxf5 Re7 8.Qxh6 Rxg7 9.Qe6+ Kh8 10.Rh5+ Rh7 11.Qf6+ Kg8 12.Rg5+ Rg7 13.Qxg7# jm
