why not just Qe7 because no matter what black does its mate for white.
I agree with Elprede, I kept on trying to put Queen on E7 only to find out it wasnt what was considered "Correct"
Agreed -- Qe7 is a forced mate in 3.
Wouldn't Black's queen move to H6 negating the previously Qe7 move?
1. Qe7 ...Qe3+
2. Kh2 ...Qh6
man, no offense, but that was a really really bad puzzle.
Sorry, first try.
Ahh, yes, I stand corrected.
For your original line, there is a better continuation after 4... Rd7 though -- after Rxd7 it is mate in 1.
no
interesting
