Ng3+, Ka6 (forced)
Qa4+, Kb7 (bxa4, Bc4# )
Qxb5#


This is incomplete, bxa4, Bc4 is only check and white can play Kb7...
Edit2: but then Na5 finishes the job.

Totally of the top of my head, here goes;
1. Qf8+! Kxf8
2. Rxf7+ Kg8
3. Rf8#
or:
1. Qf8+! Kxf8
2. Rxf7+ Ke8
3. Rf8+ Ke7/Kd7
4. R(f2)f7#
If that is right, then I am really improving on puzzles solving...

Got this one too (I hope)...
1. Nf6+! gxf6
2. Qf8+ Kxf8
3. Bh6+ Kg8
4. Re8#
Tell me if those two answers are right, please...
EDIT: Just seen zebano has already posted the answer. Sorry.

I know there are other varients but I'm in a little bit of a rush this morning, so I can't post all the others.

Another variation is;
Rxd5 exd5
Bg7 gxf5
Bxf5
threatens mate too.
I think that is also right, but with my ability....

This is incorrect. For example gxf5 isn't forced. Black can simply do nothing and there is no mate. After all the first move is wrong.

Ah.

2. Kxf2

Oops, I thought white had a fork with Ng4+, but I missed that the a6 pawn can just take the N.

I love international kings eggs. Kicking buttocks and umbrellas magnificently evilly now ' stupids. Prepare under zebra zoos living example sterns.

(From now on, I post in code.)
