White to play and win ! (Medium Difficulty)
White to play and win !
The GrandMaster with White has developped his attack on the King-Side. How does he get closer to the Black King ( note that the Black Queen and Knights are too far to protect the King-Side)

1. f6! Bxf6 (1..gxf6 loses to 2.Qxh6 with mate down the 'h' column) 2. Qf5! (threatning 3.N:f6+ and 4.Qh7); and now: a) 2..g6 3.Qxf6 Rxe4 4. Qxd8 Rxd8 5.Bxe4 and white wins, or b) 2..Rxe4 3.Qxe4 and again white wins
Bravisssimo ! Whoever wrote the previosu comment extracted the right winning lines and ideas from the diagram.
The grandmaster with White was Shabalov, showing his attacking style and tactical strength ! I forgot the name of his opponenent , either Stripunsky or Christiansen
