White to move and win - Find the Solution

[Index of Chessprints]

Solution

Here is a mate-in-five (a bit easier than our usual) I found in Chernev & Reinfeld's entertaining book The Fireside Book of Chess:

Miss Karff-Lugatsch
Berlin 1937

1.Bh5+ g6  (1...Ke7 2.Qa3 mate is what was actually played in the game) 2.Qxg6+ (2.Bxg6 accomplishes the same mate in the same number of moves, but come on - we're talking queen sac here!) hxg6 3.Bxg6+ Ke7 4.Bg5+ Nf6 5.Bxf6 mate.
