    I think it is a very fun puzzle. I don't know the likelihood of ever doing something like this in an actual game, but it's artistic in its uniqueness. Forcing someone to take your Queen, against their will, in order escape a loss! Sounds like a movie made for the Oxygen channel.

    anonymous131, only the first solution is possible. Kh3 will still be in check and the first and third solutions are the same!
