snail25: White to move.
Hmmm......
The king is under attack, but the Q will need help to finish the job. There are no other pieces close to any of white's other pieces that could be captured without loss. A possible sac? H6 looks weak, and Nh6 creates a mate threat. Mate on f7 or capture |

snail25: I always need work on my endgame. From the position the pawn on c7 is pinned to the king on b8 and we need to drive away the king on c6 or free up the pin. 87.Qc2+ forking the K an Q (forcing)
87. Qc2+, QxQ
88. c8=(Q)+ skewering the K an Q and it is over for black Good puzzle ... |
