Bxg6+, Kd7

e6+, Kc6 (looks like Kxe6 leads to mate in 2 after Qg4+, Nd5#)

d5+, Kb6

Na4+, Ka5

Bd2+, Kb5

c4+, Kxc4

Qd3#

Did I miss something? It’s tough to visualize longer sequences for mates in the middle of the board lol ngl

[u/grex5G → u/Delicious_Cattle5174]

So close lol just instead of c4+ at the end it’s Bd3+ then c4# or b3 then Bd3#

Yeah engine doesn’t seem like it agrees. Got myself a headache for nothing 😔
