This is one of the most beautiful tactical exercises I"ve ever seen. I won't post it as a puzzle because there are many variations, so set it up on the board and find the answer! Have fun!

Black plays up so...

1... Qxg2 2. Qxg2 Rxg2

That's all I got. Dunno how it will continue from there, or is that it? :P

Well, that loses the quality by

1. ... Qxg2+ 2. Qxg2 Rxg2 3. Rxb7+! Kxb7 4. Kxg2  -+

Nice try though!

is there something wrong in Qxg2 followed by Qxg2 white and the black goes Bxg2?

Black can't play Bxg2 because of the rook at f7.

 One variation is:

Rxg2 Rxb7+ Qcb7+ Qxg2 Qf7+ with mate the next move

What about Rxg2 Rxb7+ Qxb7 Qxb7+ Kxb7 Kxg2 and white has a rook vs a knight and black is down material.

Great exercise - took me a long time to realize that White can't move his rook from the f-file because of Rf2 mate or the queen of the g-file because of Qxg2 mate!

...Qg6! followed by ...Bxg7+

Well, we can see that both white's queen and rook are preventing mates on g2 and f2 respectivly. We also have to watch out for the threat gxh3 because the knight is a good attacking piece.

After a few minutes I came up with this:

Qd7! trying to distract the rook while setting up checkmate threatsand breaking the pin on the black bishop. Differant responses include:

Rxd7 Rf2#

Ree7 Qe3+ Mate fallows

gxh3 Qxh3+ mate fallows

most anything else leads to something like Bxh3+ Qxh3 Qxf7 Mate fallows

Qg6?? Rxb7

Wouldn't ...Qg6 be easily met with Qxg6?

Sorry!! Qd7

Very good! Qd7 is a killer move!

1. ... Qd7! 2. Rf3 is the only way I could come up to prevent forced mate, but white loses heaps of material (or pretty much all of it) after

2. ... Qxg7 3. Re2 Rd1+ 4. Re1 Rxe1+ 5. Kxe1 Bxe3 6. gxf3 Qg2 -+

Good job!
