What if black plays Ng6 after g4? Cotroling f4 square and possibly Nf4 when white moves his knight... White bishop is also weak, so how to break black's position?

[@markhathaway9456]

I thought that might be better, but Qd2 hitting pawn h6 and guarding f4, then maybe a K move and h2-h4 with an offer to open the h-file. The way play goes is different than the game, but the king-side is still the focal point.

But the girl was winning the game, that's checkmate in 3. +K g6, kg3 then Q*h2 is checkmate

[@moppis_welt6814]

After Kg6 he'll take the rook on h8 🤔

[@kashmir5173]

What about Re8? If kg6 "discovered check" its a free rook right? 🥲, then mate in 1 qh6 is mate 😂

She was not winning the game, computer analysis finds that white has mate in 9 moves
