I find it hard to believe black has 2 dark squared bishops...

I thought 1Rg3 did a good job of winning queen for rook, but ...Bxf4 seems to get him out of it.  The correct solution line wins queen for minor piece, and seems sound.

Oh right good point, black has two black bishops... i made this puzzle myself so you can see the mistake in it. Whats worse, the two bishops matter as i didn't even see Rg3, (which includes the bishop on c7) so i can't change it! ugh. Keep it like this then... it may not help you real chess in a way, but it will "train" your "tactics" which will help your chess... So it sort of does. Its quite close to real chess anyway yes? Oh well, never mind.
