dsymedia, Agree about the line breaks- annoys me, too. When numbering, however, you also need to delete the space after the period and before the move notation- it treats those as bullet points for paragraphs and restarts the numbering after each.
(Would be helpful if we could press "Enter" and get a line break; then click on a button to actually post -- and if the formatting didn't change when you clicked on it.)
Formatting goes all strange here. The variant should be:
If 1... Kxg5 2. Qg7 Kh4 3. Qg4#
(Took fifteen minutes.)
Oops. Sorry again. This works:
If
1… Kxg5
(Sorry: meant If ... Kxg5) Took five minutes.
If ... Kg5 2. Qg8#
Qh8 hxg5 2. Nf4#
V-2
1.Qh1! Kxg5
2.Ng2 hxg2
3.h4#
At first I got only mate in 4 but I guessed that it was a too long mate. I continued trying. It took me 20 minutes.
1.Qh1! hxg5
2.Qg2 hxg2
3.Nxg2#
