Sep-14-06  mathematician: why did Black resighn?
i dont see a mate or a win. 1....Kf8 2.Qd8 Kg7 3.Qe7 kh6 or 1....Kf8 2.Qd8 Kg7 3.Qg8 Kh6 4.Qh8 Kg5 5. h4 Kf4
Sep-14-06  Granite: You missed that 5. ... Kf4 in your position is illegal because the white bishop controls it, 5. h4 is mate in the second sequence you gave.
Sep-14-06  dbquintillion: You stopped one move too soon. In your second line 6. Qxf6+. Now white is up a bishop and a pawn and can avoid the mate-in-one threat due to capture with check.
Sep-14-06  dbquintillion: Granite, that's incorrect. Bishop does not control f4. But my the move I show wins the game.
