Except that black isn't forced to take the rook with the queen on move 2. Black can play 2... Kd7 instead of taking, and prolong the mate for 17 moves more.

Rc8 I think (Rxc8,2.Rxc8,Bxc8,Qxd8+mate

[@matthewargila]

Well yes but why would black take with rook. Black can take with biship first

[@matthewargila]

Never mind your right Haha if they take with bishop then you take queen with queen and mate

[@bh8642]

We are asked to show a winning line for White, not for a checkmate. 1. Rc8 Kd7 2. RxQ R(1)xR 3. Qxf7+ Kc8 4. Qxe6 White is up a Q for a R; pawns are now equal (5 each) but White has a passed pawn (e5); White is for choice.

Puzzle:1.Rc8 Rc8 2.Rc8 Bc8 3.Qd8#

[@michalpolanski1609]

Rc8 finishes black side and if Rxc8, then Rxc8 and if Qxc8, then Qe7# or if Bxc8, Qxd8#

[@kavyanshagrawal5279]

Third comment and the puzzle: simply 1. Rc8 pinning the queen and also there is no defence against checkmate whatever black plays and offcourse if black plays 1.bishop takes c8 then the rook is no longer defending the queen and simply 2.Queen takes queen on d8 check mate and if 1.Rxc8 then 2.rxc8 and there is no defence against checkmate

[@witnessazir5693]

Im pretty sure not only r c8 works but also a4 ! Haha This is more of a material an positional play though than a fast win. After the logical trade of queens and b x f6 we should end up with black saving his knight and our rook can infiltrate the 7th rank. With the kingside locked up and black king beig stuck on the 8th rank and blacks pieces on inactive squares (r a8) whites rooks can force a position of zugzwang or can create windmill tactis with the weak dark squares on d8 and e7. In both cases black should lose a lot of material quickly if not ger checkmated

[@ahmedmorgan2328]

Rc8

[@mehmetakifkoksal1899]

First , white is playing Rc8. Now black has three options: If Queen takes c8 > Queen e1 is checkmate If bishop takes c8> Queen d1 iş checkmate And if rook takes c8 then rook takes c8. There is no way to avoid the checkmate on d1 and e2

[@batfang5583]

I think you meant e7 and d8 as the mating squares for the white queen.

[@mehmetakifkoksal1899]

@@batfang5583 yes , yes you're right

[@mehmetakifkoksal1899]

@Plinio Ferreira then u can simply win the Queen

[@batfang5583]

@Plinio Ferreira If black plays Kf8 then Bh6+ and either king moves back to e8 followed by Qxd8# or blocks the bishop with Rg7 and again Qxd8#

[@ertanfahrenheit4359]

For the puzzle, rook to c6 should be the starting move, the rest looks easy 🙂
