This is dobious puzzle again. Who will play Qxe3? Most players will play 3.cxd5 and 4. R*e1 and try to draw the game, been only one pawn down, but in comfortable position.


The puzzle puts Black ahead one way or another. Qxe3 just shows "what if."

And there's nothing obvious about that capture unless you've seen it before...
