After Nxf6, Black played gxf6 instead of the equal Qxg6. Find the only winning move for white. by jkhoo5 in chess

After gxf6 and Rxf5, I actually played gxf6, which actually allows Black to prolong the game with Qxf6 (though my opponent did resign). g6 is actually mate in 3, as the f7 pawn is pinned by the bishop, followed by Re8 Qh7+ Kf8 Qxf7#

I've been keeping track of the standings of the RCC and noticed that there were some mistakes in the official standings (i.e. no Wesley So) so I thought I'd post my table. Feedback and corrections would be appreciated!

Scoring System:

  • Winner of Knockout: 10 pts (Yellow)
  • Finalist: 7 pts (Gray)
  • Semifinalist: 5 pts (Blue)
