Fantastic puzzle.
Sort:
Qa8!! was a pretty nasty move quite a crush that move. Anyways I think black still has chances for a draw even in this position by pushing that f pawn and hoping for a stalemate
not if white knows what he is doing
Great Puzzle!
thanks for sharing, saw the first two moves but the rest was foggish. I mean I saw only the first move, I've guessed that if this puzzle is fantastic it should be a rook sacrifice so I went for it :)
From where do you get them?

Yes, Qa8 is a beautiful key move. No, black definitely doesn't have any chances without a piece in the end game.

You are welcome! There are many great composers such as Troitskiy, Kubbel, Kasparyan, Loyd and many others. I have my own selected base of the most beautiful in my opinion.

Sure, I keep on adding them into chess base (pgn or chess base format).
