Even if you see the first move, can you see the rest of them that follow? 1.Qxf7+ Kxf7 1...Kh8 2.Ne6 Rg8 3.Nxd8 2.Bxd5+ Kg6 2...Kf8 3.Ne6+ Kg8 4.Nxd8+ Kh8 5.Nf7+ Kg8 6.Nd6+ Kf8 7.Nxe8 and White is way ahead in material 3.f5+ Kh5 4.Bf3+ Kh4 5.g3+ Kh3 6.Bg2+ Kg4 7.Rf4+ Kh5 8.Rh4+ Bxh4 9.Bf3# Great mating attack!
