I would guess White to move, since ...Qxd4 looks decisive otherwise.keithstuart wrote:er whose move is it greg

See my comments below...
1. Nxc6 Qf7
This is the first move for white. Black Q can't take white Q because then Nxe7+ and Mate in 2.
Black Q must go to f7 to delay the mate.
2. Nxf7 Nf5
Of course NxQ. No question here. Then black must move N to f5 to avoid white Qg7 mate.
3. exf5 Kxf7
Of course pawn takes knight and the destruction continues. Then black K takes the knight to avoid the Qg7 mate.
4. Qg7 Ke8
Queen moves in for the kill and the only move for black is Ke8. That is blacks only move.
5. Qe7 mates the king.
