i find the puzzle in an old chess book
first, white try to trap the king ( use the bishop to check and the rook capture the queen)
then, suddenly white give up one of the rooks and black lost the queen
The queen was not active at all The queen could have captured the two rooks.
At which move do you suggest the queen should have moved? Black is in check every move.
