I believe 1. Bd6ch should win a rook, unless I haven't seen something.
Black can't interpose his queen for obvious reasons, so he can only play 1. ... Re8. White then plays 2. Qxe8ch, and Blacks' option fails. He can play Rxe8, then White, after all this, wins a Rook with Bxc7.
In short, White is winning.
PS. If someone can post a defense to the above, I'd like to see it.

why not Be7+ and white gets a back rank mate?
Nd3# is the defense.
I think the correct way for white to play is Be7+( blocking the e file and forcing a trade of queens) Qb8 Qxb8 Kxb8 Bd6+ Kc8 Nde3(white is up a huge amount of material and black has three pieces hanging with no more mate threats.

That was Bobby Fischer. It was after winning the World Championship against Spassky. A reporter asked him how many moves he looked ahead and Bobby replied, "Only one, but it's the best one."
actually looking again white can prevent the checkmate, i think the answer is no one is a clear out winner - the game is quite well balanced; though at first looking at it i thought white, i then went with black, but now i think either colour can win, i dont even think the end game has started yet
Originally posted by Alethiaactually, there's an awful lot of winning moves for white. half a dozen at least. black has no chance.
I created this puzzle to try and make people see how easy it can be to look ahead,and it has worked. Some of you don't need it, but in the diagram, White needs to play the correct move or Black will win. If White plays the right move, Black has fairly no chance at all.
