Position from yesterday's game Carlsen vs Pantsulaia, Round 2 of the World Cup
Couldn't figure a reliable way to mate, found the game and holy hell am I impressed. Black made the mistake of trying to pin White's queen, White played Bc7 after that forcing a second mistake of moving the rook.
Solution for mate in 5
