    What was that?  Why did the Queen throw itself away on Qxg3+?  Why not try to defend from c7 or c8?  This one is befuddling.

    on fmrko26's puzzle rather than black moving the bishop black should have moved the queen to f5, white is down pieces and can't afford the trade, if white moves away from the trade the black rook to a1 will put too much pressure on the white king

    that would open up A8 for the white queen which shortens the mate...
