Cordingley puzzle 245 supplementary #chess

White to play and win

Solution

This is a position from one of the lines in the analysis of puzzle 245. White wins by 1 Qg6+!!.

Maybe as a standalone puzzle it is not too hard, but in the prior moves, white had to decide how to attack black's king, and because of Qg6, the route was Qd1-e1-g3.
