wooo i did it!!!, fastest 1 ever, or at least one i could see lol

what if...

5. ...Bc8 

I found this hard to crack.  Finally got frustrated and started checking every move.  It was clear, of course, once I got it!

I got it fairly quickly, but I was wondering what would happen on 6. Bg6 pinning the queen to the king intead of rook check.  I undersatnd that the rook way is fater but bg6 seems to work as well.  Oh, and the move Bendcat suggested seems to hold also.

Not so sure... well I'll give it another go. I'll tell you when I'm done.

It is really a mind blowing puzzle.

Yesss, finally! done it. gosh that was tough. I wish that I was as good as that in the the chess tournament.

I agree. I wanted to do 6. Bg6 ...Qxg6, 7. Qxg6 ...Kd8, 8. Rxe6, then force mate with Rook and Queen. Great puzzle!

that was great!!!

Good puzzle but why didn't Black go 2. Nxg7 instead of 2... Rxd4 ?

to deep for me, i wanted to sac a N or 2 for mate. after i saw the 1st move i saw the point: Black's Q is unprotected. White threatens mate & a discovered check.

Great puzzle......I also started looking for a N sacrifice but couldn't find a clear path so had to find the Q move. real  super puzzle today!

I found it interesting and good puzzle. It was hard for me.

Gad Zooks! Hard one! I got it, but with many errors.

It wasn't too bad.

Why is h5g7+ not a good move?

then 3.Ng6 and 4.Qc7

Why can't 7... Kd8 or 7... Kc8 at the end?

Good question, I was wondering the same thing.
