Why not move 3: Qxc8?Maybe a stupid question but I can't figure it out why not!
The white queen can't offer herself along the back rank or on the critical diagonal, or she can be captured without black surrendering the defense of e8.

I look forward to the Saturday puzzles, they seem to be the hardest ones to solve.
And this one was a real strain on the brain, best I have seen in a while.
