sorry I don't know how to explain it with numbers and that.
If this was the position then the Queen sac wins. In the game, I cannot see a forced win.
Originally posted by hedonist Just to be clear. Qxh7+ Kxh7, hxg6+ Kg8, Rh8mate.
I made the mistake of not putting this on an analyze board and was thinking
basically the same as you. However, I see now that a Rook on h8 is not
protected. So they must have something else in mind.
well i tried several variations and could not see a win but i am only a mediocre player,,then decided to run it through Houdini and the result was infact 1-0 but only after 49 moves..🙁

No because of Kxh8

The bf8 move may be a saving move for black because it looks like it stops
the mating attack. After I have set it up on an analyze board it looks like the
only move for white is hxg6 Bxh6 4.gxf7+ Kxf7 5.Rxh6 maintaining some
pressure on the King but with no clear win.

I think the braintwister version might be a variation, as this is the actual game, I believe (from chessbase)
Nunn vs Boriss Bundesliga
