    It's an easy puzzle, but this seems like a rare occurrence where there is an alternate sequence of moves. Unless I am missing something, the bishop can check before the queen takes pawn and the same result will be achieved (after the 3rd move playing the pawn up), but the puzzle denied me that order. A mistake in the puzzle for denying alternate sequences, though this is rare.

    EDIT: Nevermind, the king would take the queen. Order is intact, my mistake.

    why is the QXh4 needed? 


    If we didn't sac the Q then after Bg7...Kh5...g4...hxg4 En Passent and then there is no checkmate line in 3 moves.

    Nice pawn mate and a queen sacrifice to avoid the en passant check.

    You do realize that when an 1100, such as yourself, claims a puzzle like this is "very easy", you are being what they call a "troll"?

    Same here until I went through it. And that's why I am merely a 1350 and only a HorseMaster.
