Real situation from a recent game. Black (already losing quite badly) has just played Nc4. I played Qh6 and won easily. But what is the quickest win from here?

(Ok - I admit. Just wanted to have a go at the FEN thingy but I hope it diverts for a few moments.)

Yashin appears to have the quickest. This one sacs the Rook and it's all forced.

I may be the quickest, but the solution I gave is not correct. 🙂
after 3. Ng5 Rc7 is still a possibility

This means you are still the fastest GP.
