    Solution...



















    1. Bxh7+ Kxh7 2. hxg5+ Kg8 (2... Kg6? 3. Qh5+ Kf5 4. O-O#!) 3. Qh5 f5 4. g6!

    If 1... Kh8 2. hxg5 (2. Qh5?? Bh6) 2... Qxg5 3. Qf3 e5 4. Bf5+ Kg8 5. Rh5! Qf6 6. Bh7+ Kh8 7. Bg6+ Kg8 8. Rh8+! Kxh8 9. Qh5+ 10. Kg8 Qh7#.

    Here 3... g6 is a bit more complicated. 4. Bxg6+ Kg7 5. Bc2 f5 6. Rh3! Kf7 7. cxd5 and the attack continues.
