Daily Chess Puzzle for May 17, 2011

---

Okay guys,

For all I do for you guys, it seems to me that I should be able to make illegal moves in order to get checkmate.  I'm kidding. 

I screwed guys and I'm sorry. 

I posted a variation that definitely works, and I think betancourtjo's solution also works if I followed it correctly. 

Note to self: Create puzzles then drink heavily - NOT the other way around.  ;-)

Set the Table Properly Before You Eat

Goal: White Moves to Gain Advantage
Difficulty: Medium
Challenge: White has amassed his power on the 7th rank, but does he know how to maximize it. Do you? What are White's best moves to gain an advantage?

(Give me a Hint | Show me the Answer)

Cheers!
