nice,it was a little harder

Short and sweet, but tricky.

Wow!  2.Qc4+ --- a new wrinkle in the queen sac -- black has, and takes, the option to reject the queen sac (that pesky white pawn prevents an escape to d5), but now his defending bishop is pinned and the queen can move in for the checkmate.

I easily found mate in 4, or 5, or 6 moves...but finding 3 was not so simple.  I've gotten so used to obvious forced move puzzles with Queen sac's that thinking was knew to me!  :-)  I went for the lazy win.  I think there should be more "game like" puzzles like this one.

I really appreciate the analysis posted by others showing the many variations.  Thank you for your efforts.
