This one is tough!!
So now I am thinking:
Qxa6, Bxa6
Knight-g7 to pressure the rook - if he moves off column e then I win with rook-e7.
But now my queen has gone the black king can escape down to d3
Is this the right track?
and - unfortunately - black wins again! :)
Ok, this is four moves, but it assumes that the black queen falls for the white queen sacrifice:
R-e7, Qxd3,
Knight xf4 check, Rxe7
Kxg6 check, k-e4
Pawn-f3 checkmate
Need to look at what else black can do to defend
If the black queen instead takes the bishop on a2 that doesn't help:
Rxe7, Qxa2
Kxg5, Rxc7
Q-e4 checkmate
But if the black rook simply takes mine on e7, then I am back to square one, but down a rook
Right:
and black - again - wins. :)
