Troitzky Study 1916 White to move
One can see the most beautiful and accurate mating nets in endgame studies. It seems that White clearly has insufficient resources to win this position, but by exploiting mating possibilities and the fact that he has the move, he manages to win:
1.Qd4+ Kg5
1...Kf5 2.Qd3++–.
2.Qf6+ Kg4 3.Qf3+ Kg5 4.Qg3+! Bg4
Otherwise, the queen is lost. But what now?
5.Qh4+!!
Drawing the king into the trap.
5...Kf4
5...Kxh4 6.Bf6#; 5...Kf5 6.Qf6+ Ke4 7.Qd4+ Kf5 8.Qd3++–.
6.Qf2+ Kg5 7.Qf6#
