White to play and win
In this extraordinary, almost problem-like study, White commits a kind of suicide and then later discovers that he can still inflict a surprising mate on Black.
1.Nc6 First sacrifice a piece!
1...Kxc6 Free Food? Very Good!
2.Bf6 To control a1, Black's Queening square
2...Kd5 Back into action!
3.d3!! Suicide, as "a1" may now never be controlled
3...a2 On to glory
4.c4+ Never miss a check, it might be mate.
4...Kc5 Seems safe. If dxc3 White wins.
5.Kb7 the King is running away.
5...a1=Q Triumph, glory,victory
6.Be7!!! What's this? You have already committed Suicide; you can't come back like this. But, well, Yes! I suppose it's mate.
Umesh Nair and Dr. A.B.Surveyor have sent the correct solution.
