It really helps if you can read "11" instead of "1". I sat here for 20 seconds squinting!

7...Qc3...nobody would do that- completely unrealistic.
8...rg7... same as 7...Qc3.
9...rb1... same as the others.
without black throwing away all 3 of his / her pieces, this puzzle doesn't work.
yeah but i took it to a chess program and that's what it suggested
maximus_dragon
there is 3 mates on last move

Yeah I'd have to agree with dc1985. Black is throwing away his pieces although they delay the mate, I'd also say that black's king would have done better than just stand on the eighth rank (maybe?).

The player needs the b rook to gaurd against queen c1+ and lots of complications afterword.
The player needs the b rook to gaurd against queen c1+ and lots of complications afterword. and if so Queen takes the rook check.
Queen cant get to C1 do you mean Rc1?
queen take c1 rook and check. then white is screwed
at 7. Qf6 Rb7
8. Q g6+ Kd7 and repeat it would be a stale mate if queen kept checking
excuse me 8 Qg6 doesnt make scense because of the Rook. so i dont know why 7. cant be Rb7
