I don't think I would have ever seen that in a game either.

What would have happened if black took the bishop with knight instead of the queen?

There is as well 2 Qxf6, with the continuations 2... Bf8 3 Qxg6+ and mate next, or 2... Qf8 3 Ng4.

 

By the way, didn't somebody recently post a game with Be8?  A very pretty resource in both cases!

Wow, great combo. I'm actually surprised I was able to spot it without going to the solution.

trial and error, i cant spot that if there is no one to tell me that there is a mate combination; outside puzzle mode very hard to spot for me
