much to difficult for me

yes, agree with prev. The Q moves were easy. I dismissed the Rook move without calculation and didn't get that ... :-( Amazing that this was a game from 1925!

hello

this is prolly the hardest  puzzle i have ever done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is hard

Very Nice!

SZ.

if u took the rook the queen would take ur rook

NICE PUZZLE

Good puzzle

this is so hard

I don't understand what this was. 

Very easy, like mis Adivinanzas

nice

ok

why doesnt the queen it Qc4?!?!

Here, the black queen HAS to protect the rook on e8. So it MUST stay on the a4-e8 diagonal. All the white moves are aimed at DEFLECTING the black queen away from this diagonal. Once this is done, black will be checkmated in 2 moves... (After the black queen is removed from this diagonal, 1.Rxe8+ Rxe8, 2.Rxe8#). I hope you got it now.

Why did the black Queen not take the white after the first move?.

Oh.. now i get it.

the white is trying to make a back-rank mate. so if black captures the queen, Rxe8+ and followed by mate. really interesting puzzle.

ok
