The first thing i notice is black’s king is vulnerable if my queen or rook can give a check but the problem is that d8 rook is guarding that rank. So by attacking the guard we should play 1. f4(1. h4 Qf6 and the guard is safe) now 1… exf4 2. h4 Rxd1+ 3. Qxd1 Qf6 4. e5! Or 1.. Qf6 2. fe! And black can’t prevent immediate mate without giving up material
Exactly! 🙂
