NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.

Meanwhile, the Pro Chess League is back in action.  16 teams this year.  Schedule

Teams have great names…  Spanish Maniac Shrimps… Budapest Gambit… St. Louis Arch Bishops… Brazil Capybaras …

They are seriously under-merched!

    1. Pxg6 Rxg6–taking the pawn with f7 would be a mistake because it would let the pawn on f6 cause havoc.
    2. Rxg6 f7xg6
    3. Qg7#
    Or
    1. Pxg6 Rxg6
    2. Rxg6 Rg8
    3. Rxg8+ Kxg8
    4.Qg7#
    or
    1. Pxg6 f7xg6
    2. Rxg6 . . . I’ve lost the thread . . . this alternative goes badly.

    My take…

    1. hxg6 fxg6 (if 1… Rxg6 2. Rxg6)
    2. Qxh7! Kxh7
    3. Rh8+ and the rest is history.
