49. g8=Q+, Kh6
50. Choose out of 4 mates.
*If in the line Rxf8, Kxf8, after 37. Rg7+ black chooses to play Kh8, then 38. Rh7+!. If Black captures, Qh5+! followed by Qxg6+ and it's transposition to the "main line". If black plays 38... Kg8, then 39. Rh8+! followed by Qf6+ with transposition to the main line once again.
In conclusion, mate is forced. |
