Winning Move chess problem 

My suggestion     1.  Qxh7 

Prize is a lunch for two in the Grand Divan restaurant at Simpson's-in-the-Strand, London, including one glass each of house champagne.  The vouchers will be valid for six months. 

Answers on a postcard to

Winning Move
Weekend Review
The Times
1 Pennington Street
London
E98 1TT

Or mailto:weekend.winningmove@thetimes.co.uk?body=Answer%20is%201.%20Qxh7%20

The winner will be drawn on Thursday. 

The problem is based on the position

2r2qk1/r4p1p/b3pBpQ/n3P2P/p2p3R/P5P1/2p2PB1/R5K1

"Can you spot White's fine finish?"

After the move above

             1.  . . .         Kxh7
             2.  hxg6  dbl chk  Kg8
             3.  Rh8 mate

Good luck
