1. Rxf5 $3 {[%c_effect f5;square;f5;type;Brilliant;persistent;true]} 1... exf5 2.
Qxh6+ $3 {[%c_effect h6;square;h6;type;Brilliant;persistent;true] This move is
not so hard for a chess master as it might seem. It's clear that capturing with
the pawn allows a quick and relatively common checkmating pattern with 3.Nf6+,
AND it's clear that capturing with the king is very dangerous as the black king
is quite exposed, but where is the actual checkmate $2} 2... Kxh6 (2... gxh6 3.
Nf6+ Kh8 4. Rg8#) (2... Kg8 3. Nf6#) 3. Rh1+ Kg6 4. Kf4 $1 {[%c_effect
f4;square;f4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] AMAZING. Just as in the game
Kasparian vs. Manvelian, the king himself delivers a killing blow, both covering
vital escape squares, and freeing the bishop to prepare Bh5+.} 4... Qe6 {Now
Bh5+ will not lead to mate. So how can White win $2} (4... cxd4 5. Bh5+ Kh7 6.
Bxf7#) 5. Rh8 $3 {[%c_effect h8;square;h8;type;Brilliant;persistent;true] The
final quiet move, and a fitting conclusion to our top-ten $1 White simply prepares
Bh5# and Black has no defense despite the bevvy of available pieces, and the
audacity of White's king to march calmly up to f4 in the midst of this tempest.}
(5. Bh5+ $4 {[%c_effect h5;square;h5;type;Blunder;persistent;true]} 5... Kh7 6.
Bxf7+ Qh6+ {shows how Black intends to defend with 4...Qe6 $1 White cannot allow
this so a more clever approach is needed.}) 5... fxe4 6. Bh5# 1-0
